Many of you will have heard, or will have read in the paper, that Frank, who is standing with me as a Conservative candidate for Waldingfield Ward, suffered a personal tragedy over the Easter Weekend.
Much to his regret this has meant that he has been unable to participate in the election campaign since that time, and he will not be in evidence on polling day.
Frank has assured me that he remains keen to become a District Councillor and that, if elected, he will take up his duties as soon as possible after the election.
In the meantime, if both Frank and I are elected on Thursday (and I very much hope that we will be), please direct all Babergh related issues to me. for the time being.
