MAY I take this opportunity to thank all the electors in the Link ward who have supported me over the last 36 years, and for the many kind messages that I have received since losing my seat last Thursday.
I am still a town councillor, and in that capacity I will continue to serve them to the best of my ability.
The strange thing is that I am no longer constrained by the code of conduct in relation to Malvern Hills District Council, thus giving me a lot more freedom to comment on many issues, particularly on any high-profile planning applications.
To conclude, I would also like to publicly thank all the Malvern Hills District Council staff for their help and support over the years.
Clive Smith
