My name is Liam Walker and I am the County Councillor for the Hanborough and Minster Lovell Division at Oxfordshire County Council. I was also re-elected again in May 2021.

​

This division covers the following parishes: Crawley, Freeland, Hailey, Hanborough, Leafield, Minster Lovell, North Leigh and Ramsden.

 

I grew up in the village of Minster Lovell where I attended my first Parish Council Meeting at the young age of 17. Some may say this isn’t perhaps the normal behaviour of a 17 year old but I guess when it comes to my community I was pretty proud of the village I lived in.

 

Joining forces with other youngsters in the village we successfully worked with the Parish Council to get some BMX jumps built at the bottom of Ripley Avenue, helping to make sure the next generation weren’t bored or just hanging around on the streets.

 

I’m proud that 10 years later those BMX jumps are still there and still being used. It was this engagement with the local community that I became interested in local politics and why I am proud to now be the County Councillor for the area I grew up in. 

​

Improving the community has always been important to me and this is something I continue to do in the villages across the division. Whether that be supporting our fantastic local organisations, holding community clean-up sessions or being a strong voice at Oxfordshire County Council.

 

Only by working together can we improve our community and ensure we have a brighter future for our area, West Oxfordshire and for Oxfordshire.

 

If you would like to raise an issue or concern with me please get in contact with me.

I look forward to hearing from or meeting you soon. Thank you.
