I WOULD like to thank the people of Keighley West for electing me to be a councillor on May 3.

I look forward to working with you for the ward over the next four years.

I would also like to thank the election staff, at polling stations, at the count and within the department, who made the election possible. Those at the count at the leisure centre had a particularly long night and their endurance was much appreciated by the candidates.

I would also like to thank my fellow candidates for fighting a fair campaign, which stuck to the issues of delivering services to the people of Keighley.

PAUL GODWIN Bogthorn Oakworth
