A VERY big thank you to the people of South Swindon for electing me as their member of Parliament.

I am very proud to be your MP and will do my very best to reflect your views and fight for a fair deal for Swindon in the future.

I would like to thank my fellow candidates for a civilised and interesting campaign that reflects well on our democracy. Many thanks also go to the Returning Officer Alan Winchcombe and his first class team, the Swindon police for their excellent stewardship, and the Evening Advertiser for raising the profile through the election coverage and thus stimulating debate among local people. I am also very grateful to our wonderful team of Labour Party volunteers, brilliantly led by Fay Howard.

I promise to make sure that all Swindon's children have the best education and opportunities to improve their life chances. I will work tirelessly to ensure Swindon's future is safe under Labour.

Anne Snelgrove

Labour MP for South Swindon
