May I extend my most sincere thanks to readers for their tremendous support in the election of May 4th.
It was most gratifying to receive in excess of 50% of the voting electorate, a clear mandate to continue my efforts to support you all.
To the 1890 voters who voted for me THAK YOU THANK YOU.
To the voters who voted for my opponents THANK YOU THANK YOU, an excellent example of democracy.
The 9 residents who deliberately spoilt their papers THANK YOU at least you registered your protest.
To the residents who did not vote, excluding those who were unable due to individual reasons, please look at the example of your neighbours, how fortunate we are to be able to register our vote freely and without fear.
My four year term has now begun and I shall endeavour to continue to serve all members of Hayley Green & Cradley South ward, all ages, cultures and beliefs.
Councillor K J Turner, Hayley Green & Cradley South
