I SHOULD like to give my sincere thanks to all the residents of the Blackeney and Bream division who have me their vote for the county council elections which took place on May 2.

I am sorry I didn't make it for you. However I shall continue to work hard as a Forest of Dean district councillor on behalf of my ward of Newnham and Westbury (which has a special place in my heart) and also on behalf of the whole Forest community.
