Thanks from Nancy Lewis

I very much regret that I have had to resign my position as your District Councillor due to continued ill health, which has meant that I am still in hospital after five months.

I have very much enjoyed working on behalf of all of you in Witheridge Ward, and I sincerely thank those of you who voted for me and for their support in the May 2007 election.

I should also like to thank all of those who have sent lovely cards, letters and messages of goodwill, which have all been much appreciated.

Update on Nancy's Health

Jeremy Yabsley, Conservative Party received 448 votes:

Kate Palmer, Liberal Democrat received 318 votes

Jeremy Yabsley was therefore duly elected to represent the Witheridge Ward.
