I WOULD like to thank everyone who helped with my campaign so very much for the overwhelming support shown to me during the Cheshire West and Chester local council elections, and for everyone who voted for me, your support was fantastic and very much appreciated.

I feel very proud to have been so well supported, the odds were stacked against me given that I was an individual standing in a General Election year.

Interestingly, I was the only female candidate for our ward.

My motivation and passion has only ever been to be able to support our community and I will continue to strive to make a difference for the benefit of all.

Although I wasn’t successful this year, I feel very honoured to have received such amazing help and encouragement.

This achievement is down to you so thank you very much.
