Councillors Wera and William Hobhouse send parcels to the troops for Christmas

Heywood and Middleton Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesman Councillor Wera Hobhouse welcomes the Middleton Guardian Support our Soldiers campaign as a unique moment to support our troops that are not spending Christmas at home.

Wera also got into the Christmas spirit by getting a parcel ready to send off to the troops.

Councillor Hobhouse commented:

"I congratulate the Middleton Guardian for this important campaign, it is important that at Christmas we remember the many service people who will not be spending Christmas at home with their families.

We as a country are forever in their debt and I was excited to pack a present and send off to the troops this weekend,

I encourage other Middleton Guardian readers to join in this campaign"
