Congratulations to Manuela for winning for the Liberal Democrats. She fought a sound campaign and, I am sure, will be an excellent representative for our community.
I was privileged to stand as the independent candidate. During the campaign, I met a large number of very fine people. The response I received was almost universally warm and I would have been proud to serve. I will consider carefully how I can do better in 3 years time!
