Sir.-We wish to thank those voters who supported the undersigned Liberal Democrat candidates in recent elections.

Lib Dem candidates won Yateley North and Frogmore and Darby Green with large majorities, and came a close second in both Pondtail and Fleet North.

In other seats, such as Fleet West, Hartley Wintney, Hook and Long Sutton, our share of the vote was encouraging.

Our elected Liberal Democrat colleagues are joining with councillors representing the Community Campaign for Hart and Independent councillor Denis Gotel to form a coalition which will work together to try to improve the administration of Hart for the benefit of its residents.

We trust that the majority of residents will approve of this and want to see those they have elected working together.

-Rod Fisher, Mariken van Dolen, Chris Griffin, Richard Robinson, Nikki Dommett and Roger Carter.

Sir.-I would like to thank the voters of Hartley Wintney and Elvetham for the confidence expressed in me when I was elected by a convincing majority for a fifth term to Hart District Council.

I am already busy working on their behalf.

An an Independent on the council, I am committed to serve everyone in the community, so please visit The Monthly Listening Post in the Victoria Hall, Hartley Wintney, or e-mail Susan_band@btinternet.com

-Councillor Susan Band, Hartley Wintney.
