SIR – I would like to thank all the residents of Bingley Ward that braved the inclement weather on much of Thursday to take part in the local elections and particularly those that supported me for a further term as one of your representatives at City Hall.

It is an honour to be entrusted with this responsibility, I am there to fight your corner.

David Heseltine, Councillor Bingley Ward, Chairman Shipley Area Committee, Nab Wood Road, Nab Wood, Shipley
