Thank you to all those who supported me during the campaign and at the polls. It was a nerve racking day yesterday but a happy outcome for me at the end.

I am now looking forward to the next four years carrying on the efforts started to make Cornwall Council work for all the people who live here. There will be new challenges to face but I welcome them. It is too soon to say how the new chamber will look and I will report on that in due course.

For now I promise that I will work for you to the best of my ability and be visible and available to those who need my help.I will also keep you updated with the news from both County Hall and the three parishes.
