EMOTIONAL Alan Connett has earned himself another four years on Teignbridge Council – 24 years after being first elected.
Cllr Connett, a former district authority leader, romped home with nearly 850 votes with his closest opponent only gaining 149.
‘I am feeling rather emotional that residents have voted me in for another four years. I love representing the area.’
Cllr Connett said he was ‘surprised’ that Jeremy Christophers had been booted out of office, but said it was a reflected of how fed-up residents across Teignbridge.
He said it was ‘too early to say’ if the Lib Dems would take back control of Teignbridge.
