WITH the heavy snow that we had in the Oxford area during Saturday afternoon and throughout the evening and early hours of Sunday and the disruption caused to travel by road and rail, it did not deter our Oxford East MP, Andrew Smith, from visiting his constituency in the Donnington and Boundary Brook area that morning.

He and his team walked through the snow-covered paths and spoke to many people with regard to local problems which they may have.

I for one admire this hard-working MP of ours – especially on a morning like that when he could have quite easily stayed at home in the warm with his feet up.

Carry on the good work you are doing: I salute you.

COLIN SMITH, George Moore Close, Donnington, Oxford
