MADAM, may I offer my congratulations to the successful candidates, Mr G Lucas and Mr C Bartum in last week's election and it is hoped they will bring the new prosperity and investment to our town. I would like to express my enormous gratitude to everyone who took the time to go and vote for me and a big thank you to family and friends for your invaluable support. I look forward to the next time.

Marilyn Teague, Ross
