New councillor thanks supporters

Ann, who lives in Strathkinness and represents the St Andrews ward, said: “I would like to thank my team who have worked so hard on my campaign and to those who voted for me, I will not let you down.

“I would also like to thank my running mate Colin Veitch for all his support. We made a great team and I am very disappointed that he did not get elected as well.”

Congratulating Ann on her success, SNP Westminster candidate Stephen Gethins said: “Ann knows St Andrews so well; she is involved with many organisations and is known to so many people.

“She is hard working and will be a fantastic councillor. I look forward to working with her on some of the big issues facing this area.”
