Congratulations Kevin, a very hard-working local Councillor who can always be relied on, and really knows his community. The only Labour candidate I would ever vote for!
Congratulations Kevin well done. Don’t normally vote Labour but have witnessed your hard work in this community which made my mind up. If only others would learn from your from your standards.
