Michael Hampton of Local Larder said: “I am incredibly proud to be able to help another town as we have done in Banbury, and hopefully our service will provide the same level of help.

"A massive thank you to Keith Davies from the Volunteer Driver Service, as this expansion could not have happened without him."

Michael, who founded his delivery service as Mike on a Bike, delivering essentials to Banbury residents during the Covid pandemic, was awarded a British Citizen Award last year for his work in supporting the community.
