To the Seawinds Ward and MPS community, thank you all for your support and thoughts throughout my election campaign. It is very much appreciated and all going well I will be back on board after the elections, rolling up my sleeves and getting on with what I thoroughly enjoy doing – taking care of our Community.

Over the weekend all votes will be counted. Saturday is when all the ballots will be taken out of their envelope, sorted and bundled – the results for the single Councillor wards should be in by the end of today all going well.
