ON November 15, the electorate of Carlton, Hirst Courtney and Temple Hirst put their trust in me and elected me in preference to two other good candidates as their representative to Selby District Council.

This was also made possible by the support of my wife Gisela and my family plus the hard work of my agent Owen Lewis. I thank the electorate of Carlton Ward whose trust in me I will not disappoint.

Last, but not least, I thank all those who leafleted and canvassed for me and those who helped on the day. Contrary to what many say, even at district level one's political persuasion matters and, without the will of a strong party behind one, nothing can be achieved.

Coun Rodney Price,

Selby District Council,

Low Street, Carlton.
