Hello neighbours and fellow residents of Hardwick, this is it! 🗳️

Thursday 7th May is almost here and before you make your decision, I want to speak to you one last time. Not as a candidate, but as your neighbour.

My name is Michael Offei. I live here in our area with my family. I walk the same streets, sit in the same traffic and feel the same frustration when promises are made and nothing changes.

Many of you opened your doors to me. You shared your worries i.e. better bus coverage, young people with nowhere to go, older residents feeling forgotten and developers taking without ever giving back amongst many others.

I heard every single word. 👂

I won't pretend one councillor fixes everything overnight. But I will tell you this, 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. Not slogans. Not party lines. Real plans, in writing, for you to hold me accountable to.

Labour have held Hardwick since 2022. Ask yourself honestly, what has changed for our community? 🤔

I'm not asking for blind faith. I'm asking for a chance to work hard, show up and fight for this community the way it deserves to be fought for.

On Thursday 7th May, please, make your vote count.🔶

📍Polling stations open 7am–10pm. 🪪 Photo ID required, don't forget it and remind a friend or neighbour to come along!

Vote Michael Offei, Liberal Democrat, Banbury Hardwick🔶

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥𝗦 #𝟳

🍞𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗬 - 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴?

"𝗜 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗽 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗦𝗼 𝗠𝘆 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗮𝘁". An all too familiar reality that some of our neighbours and resident in our ward face on a daily. You would be shocked to know some haven't eaten a proper meal in three days.💔

"The kids need to eat. I can stretch £20 if it's just for them. Food bank helps, but it's embarrassing. I'm working full-time. I shouldn't need this." 😔

7.5 million people in the UK live in food-insecure households. That's 1 in 9 of us. In Hardwick, it's happening on streets you walk past every day.📊

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗪𝗜𝗖𝗞 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗪
Let me be clear about food support available: 📍
✅ St Francis Church Foodbank (Thursdays 10am-12pm & 6pm-8pm), voucher required
✅ St Francis Community Drop-In (Tuesdays 11am-3:30pm) - includes take-away lunch

That's it! Two days per week. One location.

No community fridge. No food pantry. No cooking classes. No community garden🚫. Compare that to other areas with multiple food pantries, community fridges open 7 days/week, cooking skills programmes and community gardens. 🌱

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡'𝗧 𝗘𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛
Foodbanks are emergency provision. They're vital, but they're not a solution. Here's why: 🚨
❌ 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗺𝗮 - many people won't use them even when desperate
❌ 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 - if you work shifts, you're excluded
❌ 𝗩𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 - you need referral from GP/social worker/councillor
❌ 𝗡𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 - you get what's donated, not what you need
❌ 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 and doesn't address why people can't afford food

𝗪𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬-𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗗 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁.💙

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗦: 𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗨𝗞
✔️Community Pantries - members pay £3-£5 a week for £15-£20 of food, choosing what they need. Run by volunteers, council‑supported. Successful in Tower Hamlets, Merton, Bradford, Nottingham.

✔️Community Fridges - open to all, redistributing surplus food from supermarkets and cafés. Merton saved 27 tonnes of food (~ 58 600 meals).

✔️Community Gardens & Cooking Classes — teach growing and cooking skills, reduce isolation, and build resilience.

✅ 𝗠𝗬 𝗙𝗜𝗫
District councils do have tools to support food security, especially when they work with community groups, churches, businesses and charities. These are models that already operate in other parts of the UK and could be explored for Hardwick.

1️⃣ 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗪𝗜𝗖𝗞 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗬
I will explore the feasibility of CDC working with local partners to set up a daily/bi-weekly community pantry at a selected community venue:
✅Low‑cost weekly membership, with food worth several times that amount
✅Choice‑based model where people shop, not just receive parcels
✅Run by volunteers, with council and charity support for venue and coordination
✅Stocked through surplus food schemes and local supermarkets

Similar pantries already run successfully in places like Tower Hamlets, Merton, Bradford and Nottingham. The exact cost and scale here would depend on partners, funding and demand.

2️⃣𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗚𝗘𝗦
Across Hardwick, we currently have very limited local food support. I would explore community fridges at vantage locations across the ward, working with council, residents and local businesses/partners:
✅Open access to surplus food that would otherwise go to waste
✅No vouchers, no means‑testing
✅Hosted in an existing community venue, if agreed
✅Funding could come from a mix of council budgets, grants and where appropriate, developer contributions.

3️⃣ 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦 & 𝗡𝗨𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦
I will push for free or low‑cost cooking sessions in Hardwick, delivered with Public Health, adult learning or local charities:
✅Budget‑friendly, nutritious meals
✅Batch cooking and food storage skills
✅Hosted regularly at a Hardwick Community venue

These programmes already run in other parts of the country; the question locally is who delivers them and how often, not whether they’re possible. 🥗

4️⃣ 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘𝗦🌱
I will explore options for more community growing:
✅Additional allotment capacity where there’s demand and land
✅Links with local schools so children can learn about growing and cooking

This would likely rely on a mix of S.106 funding, small grants and volunteer effort and would need proper site and cost assessment.

5️⃣ 𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣
Many families don’t know about schemes like the Household Support Fund or local welfare assistance. I will push for:
✅Clear information at foodbanks, schools, GP surgeries and online
✅Simple, jargon‑free guidance on how to apply
✅Working with advice agencies to make sure people aren’t missing out

This is low‑cost, practical and well within what councils can do. People can't access help they don't know exists. 📢

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦𝗡'𝗧 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗬. 𝗜𝗧'𝗦 𝗜𝗡𝗩𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧.
Food-secure families: 💙
✔️ Have better health outcomes, less NHS burden
✔️ Perform better at work/school boosting economic productivity
✔️ Experience less mental health crisis which reduces social care costs
✔️ Stay in their homes thereby preventing homelessness

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥𝗦 #𝟲

𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵? 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱?

I knocked on a door in Hanwell Fields. A mother answered, exhausted. 💔
"My son has autism. It took two years to get an ECHP. He's been out of school for six months. No alternative provision. I'm losing my job because I can't work. We're invisible." 😔

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗸
Let’s be clear about what families face:

🚫Previously, ECHPs often took over a year, sometimes up to two years, despite the legal 20‑week limit set. Oxfordshire County Council’s own SEND strategy acknowledged severe delays caused by rising demand and limited casework capacity. The government placed an improvement notice in 2023 after Ofsted found SEND services failing families.

🚫Children are excluded or off‑rolled without suitable alternative provision, leaving parents to fight for placements alone.

🚫Families are referred outside Banbury for assessments and therapy, adding travel costs and time off work.

🚫Schools are under‑resourced, struggling to deliver inclusive education within mainstream settings.

🚫Hardwick ward has no dedicated SEND parent support group or sensory‑friendly youth club.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲?
The SEND system is fragmented by design:

𝗢𝘅𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 (𝗢𝗖𝗖) is legally responsible for Education, Care and Health Plans (ECHPs), assessments, special schools and SEND transport.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 (𝗖𝗗𝗖) oversees community and leisure services that should include accessible youth programmes.

𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 must provide SEN Support and reasonable adjustments under the SEND Code of Practice.

𝗡𝗛𝗦 delivers speech, occupational and mental‑health therapies.

Each agency has a piece of the puzzle, but no one coordinates the whole picture. The result, families fall through the cracks. 💔

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀?
In Hardwick ward itself, provision is minimal.
✅Schools are doing their best with limited budgets and staff.
✅St Francis Church offers a welcoming drop‑in, though not SEND‑specific.

Beyond that, families rely on Banbury‑wide or county‑wide services, none based within Hardwick’s boundary. Compare this to other wards with dedicated SEND youth groups, sensory play sessions, and parent coffee mornings. ☕

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
Oxfordshire now supports over 6,000 ECHPs, a 40% increase since 2020. Without localised support, Hardwick families may face longer waits, higher costs and fewer inclusive opportunities.

✅𝗠𝗬 𝗙𝗜𝗫
I'm not going to promise I will fix SEND. That is dishonest. SEND is a County responsibility. The system was broken under the watch of the previous administration and has only recently been acknowledged as improving.

The good news is that, OCC lead by the Lib Dems, have worked tirelessly to get things right, with the government improvement notice lifted on 15 April 2026. This further proves the tenacity, commitment and focus of the Lib Dems when put incharge working for our county, communities and families.

But as your District councillor with Lib Dems controlling BOTH councils, here is what I can and I will push for: 💪

1️⃣ 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗪𝗜𝗖𝗞 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗡𝗘𝗧𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞
District Council can fund and host SEND parent coffee sessions at a selected Hardwick Community venue. ☕

This is not therapy, it is:
✅A safe space to share experiences
✅Peer support from parents who've been through it
✅Guest speakers (EHC coordinators, school SENCOs, benefits advisors)
✅Signposting to county-wide services
✅ Parents fighting alone, suddenly have allies.

2️⃣ 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗬-𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦
District leisure budget can fund sensory-friendly sessions that include: 🎨
✅Art/craft with trained facilitators
✅Quiet spaces for children who get overwhelmed
✅Structured but flexible activities

Why this matters is that, SEND children are often excluded from mainstream youth activities. This gives them a place to belong. 🏠

3️⃣ 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗘𝗛𝗖𝗣 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚
I will collaborate and work closely with County Lib Dem colleagues to provide:
✅Routine reports on ECHP waiting times in Hardwick (how many waiting, how long, backlogs, etc.)
✅Named accountability i.e. who is delaying what
✅Escalation pathway for families stuck beyond statutory 20 weeks

I believe transparency creates trust. Trust that the process is progressing and who is accountable.

4️⃣ 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗛 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡
When I push for youth services (Post #4), I will do my best to ensure they are SEND-accessible by default:
✅Staff/coordinators trained in SEND awareness
✅Quiet spaces available
✅Activities adaptable for different needs
✅No child excluded because they need extra support

SEND families don't need pity, They need ACTION! 💪
They need:
✔️ A Councillor who coordinate instead of blame-shift
✔️ Community spaces where their children are welcome
✔️ Transparency so they know who to hold accountable
✔️ Peer support so they're not fighting alone
✔️A councillor who will speak plainly and act with integrity.

I won’t pretend I can fix everything overnight, but I will fight for what is within my power and use every lever of influence across both councils to unblock what isn’t. 🔶

A lovely, sunny morning of door knocking and speaking with residents for the upcoming elections, couldn't get any better than getting a surprise visit from Calum Miller for Bicester and Woodstock MP.

It was a good day, we spoke to residents in both Hanwell Fields and Highlands. Highlight of my day was picking up a critical casework for a resident that had been bothering him for a long time now. Complained, no response, no solution, definitely very upset but I gave him my word.........I will come back with a solution and help get it sorted asap.
