As a result of the change in the election date, I was on holiday on June 7 and have returned only recently. Naturally, while I was away I confirmed I had been elected to serve as county councillor for the Kingston Buci ward in Shoreham and Southwick.
May I, through the Opinion page, say a belated but very big thank-you to all those people who voted for me. I have no doubt it will not be easy to step into the shoes of my predecessor, Sid Little, and may I take this opportunity to wish him well.
People who know me well will know I firmly believe in local people and issues and that politics should not interfere with the needs of the community and its people.
-David K Ashley, county councillor, Kingston Buci ward, East Worthing and Shoreham Conservative Association
