Thank you message.

First of all, I would like to extend a personal thank you to those who voted for me in the recent election, and for doing so with such a big majority to represent Knellwood Ward. As the first female Knellwood Ward councillor since 1998 and probably the first black African to be elected in the borough, I am truly honoured and proud with this achievement.

Thank you to those of you who took time to talk to me when I visited you during the election campaign period. I have listened to all your comments and have noted down your concerns. Myself and the other 2 councillors Paul Taylor and Roland Dibbs will now start working for you.

Apologies to those of  you who missed me during my visits; also to those I was unable to visit. You were not forgotten. Due to limited time and resources, we were unable to visit every house in the ward before the elections but we will be doing ward visits throughout the year.

We will also be running Councillors' Surgeries on the 3rd Saturday of each month at The Swan Inn on A325 from 11am til 1pm starting this June. Please come and see us there.

We are also keen to promote some community events and activities. Please feel free to make any suggestions and we will look into it. Email us knellwoodward@gmail.com
