Local Elections

Elections took place on Thursday May 6th for Devon and Cornwall’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Cornwall Councillors for the new divisions of Wadebridge East and St Minver and Wadebrigde West and St Mabyn. Here we introduce the two Cornwall Councillors who represent this area: Hello Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who voted for me in last week’s Council elections. It was a privilege to be re-elected for the new division of Wadebridge East and St Minver. I am also pleased to announce that I have been offered and accepted a position in the new Conservative led administration at Cornwall Council as portfolio holder for Neighbourhoods. I have always felt my strengths lie in dealing with local community issues and and I look forward to working with Town and Parish councils to make our communities reflect the wishes of the people who live and work in them. Despite being a unitary authority Cornwall is a diverse county and it is not always easy to take a one size fits all approach when solving issues. I will, over the next 4 years, do my best to represent all of my division and the wider community in a fair and balanced way and work with as many groups as possible to bring about the best outcomes for our very beautiful part of the world. Carol Mould Cornwall Councillor for Wadebridge East and St Minver Division.
