Dear Editor I would like through the Advertiser to express not only my appreciation of all that has been achieved by outgoing council leader Gary Womersley but also my relief that he is still to remain a councillor for central ward.

The differences that have been brought about both within the council and in Clackmannanshire in general during his term stand witness to the professionalism that be brought to the post and it is to be hoped that his successor can continue at the same level.

One look at the developments taking place in Sauchie Main Street for instance is all that is needed to gain some idea of the changes that he has sought to bring about not just in the ward that he represents but in the community that he is proud to belong to.

Name and address supplied.
