I WOULD like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all the people in the Craven ward who voted for me in the local Bradford district elections.

I am honoured and delighted that you entrusted me with your vote.

I’d also like to thank the Conservative party, my agent and my campaign team, who all helped me in different ways to secure this win.

I look forward to working hard for all the residents and getting a better deal for our Craven ward.

REBECCA WHITAKER Newly-elected Conservative councillor for Craven ward
