Madam, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped and supported me during the Herefordshire Council Elections Campaign.
Unfortunately this time round I was not successful but I gained a lot of votes and I am very grateful to every one them.
I would not just like to thank the voters and supporters but also my fellow candidates who gave me great encouragement throughout the night. They were all great sports and we were all rooting for each other across the town.
My very special thanks go to my fellow Independent Marilyn Teague without whom I would probably have given up at the first hurdle. She was a great support especially when I was unable to go out and about due to my commitments with looking for work.
Mary Sinclair Powell
