I WOULD like to put on record my thanks to my local councillor and mayor Joe Harris.

He was extremely helpful in sorting out an issue I had with parking in my street. He came round to see me and kept me consistently informed of what progress was being made.

I have been so impressed with this young man since he was elected and I think all politicians could take a leaf out of his book with regard to keeping in touch with locals and representing us well.
