SIR - May I give my congratulations to North Devon Council staff for the professional, expert and smooth running of the elections - as usual.

It was nice to see the familiar favourites like Don Pratt, Martin Isaacs and Andrew Austin and to know our democracy is safe in their hands.

Congratulations also to my candidate Cllr. Rodney Cann (Independent) and also to UKIP who did so well. Not being a member of any political party - I hope I can also say how absolutely delighted I was to hear of the overwhelming success of Christopher Pasco (Lib Dem) who was elected as a Cornwall County Councillor. Many in Fremington will recall that Chris was elected onto Fremington Parish Council a while ago. I am very proud that I was able to assist him in his campaign in Cornwall - if only in a small way.
