I WOULD like to take this opportunity to pass on my sincerest thanks to the readers of the Winsford Guardian and the community for their encouragement and support during my election campaign.

I would also like to make a special mention of thanks to my council candidates and the assistance I received from Kerrie, David and William who worked so tirelessly during this exciting time.

It was particularly enjoyable meeting the people of Winsford and finding that so many were both concerned about the future of the town and optimistic as to what UKIP had to offer.

Young people were passionate about politics and welcomed the opportunity to engage with and discuss their concerns and ideas for the town and politics in general.

I would like to congratulate Antoinette Sandbach, who won Eddisbury for the Conservatives. UKIP are on the map now most definitely in Eddisbury and Winsford in particular; we will be looking to hold our new MP to account and await what the outcome may be for people in Winsford. The campaign for 2020 starts now and UKIP are already looking brightly at the future.
