Farewell to Mannington and Western ward residents from Councillor Steve Wakefield

I have found the last 15 years as a councillor in West Swindon interesting, energising and it has been a privilege to serve. I have always appreciated the support from my fellow Mannington and Western councillors, Kevin Small and Jim Robbins. However I have decided, now is the time for me to move on and do other things. 

I have found the last 15 years as a councillor in West Swindon interesting, energising and it has been a privilege to serve. I have always appreciated the support from my fellow Mannington and Western councillors, Kevin Small and Jim Robbins. However I have decided, now is the time for me to move on and do other things.  I felt honoured to have the opportunity of working with so many people in the area, and that is why I am confident that they will have a good choice in Steph Exell.

Steph is a confident, competent and experienced councillor, who can hit the ground running in Mannington Western.

Steph has an approachable, friendly, and helpful nature, that comes from listening and helping people. There is no nonsense with Steph and she can deal with all issues that are presented to her by local people. People who know Steph will tell you that with all her years of experience, Steph is not easily phased by anything she comes across! I know that Steph will work hard for local people, all year around and not just at election times.

Thank you to all those people I have met and who worked with me in Mannington and Western, I will miss you all.

Cheerio and take care.
