A BISHOP’S Waltham Parish Council committee has welcomed a new member.

Cllr May Martin is a relatively new addition to the council, having been voted in after impressing other members last summer with her involvement in events such as the Bishop’s Waltham festival.

At a meeting on Tuesday, she put herself forward for Finance, Policy and Resources Committee.

She said: “I’ve been attending the committee meetings to broaden my knowledge and I believe my own experience and knowledge could be of assistance.”

Officially put forward by Cllr Bill Gilling, councillors were unanimous in their approval.
