AN ILMINSTER Town Councillor has stepped down from her position.

Former Cllr Sophie Storey made the decision last night, and has told the Chard and Ilminster news that the role had become "frustrating".

She said: "It is something I have been thinking about doing for a while, and last night just seemed to be the right opportunity.

"I have found it frustrating of late."

More news, including a full interview with Sophie Storey, will come tomorrow.
