Here are all the letters the Bracknell News received this week from our kind readers.

Thank you letters

I should like to thank all those who supported me in the recent Borough Council election.

Please rest assured that I will continue to represent everyone in the ward, however they voted, and will be happy to continue to take up their issues.

Pauline Helliar-Symons, Wokingham Borough Councillor for Wokingham Without.

In the hotly contested local elections on 6th May I was re-elected as a councillor for Bulmershe and Whitegates for the next three years.

I wish to thank all the residents of Bulmershe & Whitegates for giving me the privilege to serve them again. I am pleased to be back. THANK YOU for placing your trust in me. In my previous eight-year tenure as a councillor, I actively campaigned to bring investments in this area, add value and improve the lives of our residents. I will continue to stand up for the issues that matter and be the strong voice for our residents.

I want to thank everyone who voted for me, Conservative and non-Conservative and assure those who did not vote for me, that I will not ignore your concerns and worries. I will always be there to serve all residents of Bulmershe & Whitegates. If I can be off any help, please get in touch with me on shahid@woodleyconservatives.com or give me a call on 07775 655630.

National Lottery players raise £30 million every week for good causes and we know this money is being used in amazing and inspiring ways. As part of The National Lottery Awards we want to celebrate those whose selfless dedication and fantastic work makes such a difference in villages, towns and cities across the country.
