CONGRATULATIONS to Martin Woodley and all others honoured today for working tirelessly to make our community better.

Mr Woodley has been made an MBE for his work in trying to stop conmen preying on the elderly and vulnerable through his work with Oxfordshire County Council’s trading standards department.

It is well deserved but we feel sure he would give up the MBE if he was able to stop this continuing scourge across Oxfordshire.

So for this coming year do your best to help his work by reducing the chance of becoming a target.
