THROUGH your newspaper I would like to give my sincere thanks to all the voters of New Town and Avenue who have elected me to continue as their representative on the District and Town Council.

I would like to give a special mention to those voters who experienced a great deal of inconvenience during the course of the day some even returning three times to try and cast their vote it is appreciated. Living in an era of low voting numbers this was certainly above and beyond anybody's duty. I sincerely hope that along with my fellow councillors we can remedy this problem before the next elections.

For all the District councillors that did not get reselected I would like to extend my best wishes to and hope that they will return in the near future and for all the reselected town councillors here's to an exciting and progressive term of office with our new councillors.

COUN JULIET SHORT, Maidenhead Road, Stratford.
