FROME has a new town councillor – Lyndsey Mayhew – who picked up the most votes in a poll on her birthday.
Lyndsey – who stood for Independents for Frome – is the new representative for the Market Ward on Frome Town Council (FTC) after a poll on Thursday (October 9).
She picked up a total of 360 votes, more than 190 ahead of Liberal Democrat, Damon John Hooton, who came second.
Reform UK candidate Timothy Simon George Stevens came in third (76 votes), followed by Conservative Claude Atkinson (42) and Neil Sheppard (15).
The poll came after the resignation of former councillor Mel Usher after 11 years, following a move out of the town centre.
