The leader of the Liberal Democrats visited a Wantage business last week.
Sir Ed Davey was joined by Didcot and Wantage MP Olly Glover and Oxfordshire county councillor Jane Hanna at The Funky Teapot in Grove Street.
The visit, on Friday, November 15, was to launch a campaign to scrap the government’s bus fare hike.

Sir Ed was initially planning on learning to drive a bus in Didcot, but he visited Wantage instead and painted a bus onto some pottery.
The Funky Teapot sells pottery and runs pottery making classes.
Sir Ed said: “Our key message is on the bus tax. We're worried about the impact it will have on family income during a cost of living crisis.
"Many of the people who use buses don't have cars and they are struggling already, so this is bad news for many families in Oxfordshire.”
