SIR, I would like to thank Brian Ramsey for the time and effort he put in while representing the town ward on Monmouth Town Council. Unfortunately Brian has resigned for personal reasons and the Town Council is looking to co-opt someone as councillor for the town ward. Anyone resident in Monmouth may apply. I would encourage anyone who has the time, energy and inclination to assist in the running of the town affairs to contact the town clerk in the first instance on: 01600 715662. No previous experience or qualification is required – just enthusiasm and a modicum of common sense. Bob Hayward (Dixton with Osbaston)
