I WISH to congratulate Rose Neave on her election as Mayor, with Deputy Tony Walker, and the chairs and vice-chairs of committees.

I have been impressed by her desire to represent all Ilminster residents to the best of her ability, intelligence and common sense.

I am confident that under her guidance Ilminster Town Council can make a fresh start, and leave the acrimony and distrust of the past few years behind it.
