Tom Burgess

got involved in politics in December 2024 after feeling completely let down by the Conservatives. With no real alternative in sight, I became politically homeless. Instead of just grumbling at the radio, tutting at social media, or watching the decline of our local investment, amenities and services, I decided to take action — to use my energy to support our community and provide a genuine alternative for real change. Having lived in Kidlington and Bicester all my life, I understand the challenges our families and communities face — but I can also see the opportunities ahead. As a family man and local businessman, I’m committed to ensuring our rural communities receive the support and services they deserve. I will work with you — and for you — to strengthen our community by fighting for better representation of our farming constituents, well-maintained roads, solutions to traffic congestion, and improved public transport. I’ll also work to drive down council debt, root out wasteful spending, and highlight inefficient processes. Our public money must be spent wisely, ensuring every investment delivers real, lasting benefits for all our residents. With many years’ experience in the infrastructure sector, I understand how crucial it is that development is managed responsibly — meeting local needs, maintaining what we have, and protecting the character of our countryside. I will work hard for you — both this generation and the next — to help create a safer, stronger, and more prosperous community that we can all be proud to call home. I hope I can count on your vote — let’s deliver real change, together
