A humbling experience


Any politician standing for election who does not feel nervous before the count and humbled by a successful outcome is in the wrong business.

I can therefore confirm that I felt very nervous before the ballot boxes for my local council ward of Worth Valley were opened on Friday morning and both humbled and elated to find I’d gained 60% of the vote.

To those 2,475 residents who decided to place an X beside my name, I would like to say a huge thank you.

For those who didn’t, be assured I remain as committed as ever to providing everyone who lives in the most picturesque ward in the country with the best possible representation in the years ahead.
