Richard Cooke, of Crowthers Hill, Dartmouth, writes:

I would like to congratulate Hayley Rundle on being elected a town councillor last Thursday. She becomes the only elected councillor we have in Dartmouth.

I would also like to thank David Kelland who acted as my agent, the 10 electors who signed my letter requesting an election, and all those who voted for me.

While campaigning, I collected a list of requirements for the new councillor which included sorting out town parking; creating sleeping policemen in South Town; selling the Guildhall; providing more allotments; supporting local businesses; and even advice to get my hair cut!

I wish our new councillor the best of luck in achieving these aims, although she can leave my hair alone!
