Dear Editor I would like to praise a very special councillor - Kathleen Martin, who works above and beyond for her ward.

She helps the young as well as the elderly and at times is just a good listener.

Kathleen is known to be out in all weathers at all hours to help.

She also takes an interest in groups in her town of Clackmannan. The gala group, the development trust, the community council and I’m sure others. She seldom if any misses any of their meetings.

When given a problem from a resident she usually fixes it or tries to do so and reports back to “keep you in the loop”.

She is a mother and grandmother (where does she get the time). Being a councillor is not a job to her its a pleasure.

Keep up the good work Councillor Martin, Clackmannan town needs you.

Yours sincerely Name and address supplied
