On behalf of East Devon Constituency Labour Party, I am writing to thank the Returning Officer and all the people who worked to ensure the effective organisation of the district and rown council elections, as well as the referendum on AV.

At all stages of the electoral process, while working meticulously within the rules, Mark Williams and his team have been efficient, courteous and helpful and their work is greatly appreciated.

I would also like to thank the people who voted for Labour Party candidates – their continuing support is very much appreciated.

Carole Newton

Chair, East Devon Constituency Labour Party.
