I would like to thank the many residents of Elstree who put their faith in me and the Conservative administration at Hertsmere Borough Council in the recent local elections.

I would also like to thank the other candidates for a clean campaign fought fairly on local issues. I want to also wish my predecessor Derek Gunasakera well in his retirement and thank him, on behalf of our residents, for the many years of tireless effort that he put in.

As has been shown in most of the results across our borough, residents are pleased with the service provided by our Conservative-run council, but we are not complacent and we will always listen to suggestions of ways to improve our area and the services we provide to our residents.

I will represent all the residents of Elstree and I will always be available via email or phone, should any issue be of concern.

I would also like to thank the returning officer and all those who ensured that our European and local elections were so well run.

Cllr Harvey Cohen

Con/Elstree ward,

Hertsmere Borough Council
