Dear Editor,

Newly elected Councillor

You may be aware that following the by-election on Thursday, I was elected as the local Councillor for Haydon on Radstock Town Council.

I would like to thank Haydon residents for their support and I will endeavour to represent our village and our community to the best of my ability.

One of my first tasks will be seeking the views of residents to make sure I properly understand local concerns and priorities so I can pursue appropriate solutions.

I will publicise shortly how I plan to go about this and make sure everyone has the opportunity to express their views.

Thank you,

Simon de Beer
