CAN I extend a very heartfelt thanks to the residents of our area for the support that I received in last week’s General Election. To be returned to Parliament is a proud moment, to do so with an increased majority is an even more special one.

There is no greater honour, or challenge, than being asked to champion the interests of this area in Parliament, or to try and help individual constituents in their hour of need.

So whether or not readers supported me, or even voted, I wanted everyone to know that I will continue to put our area first and to help out everyone who raises issues or concerns with me.

My Parliamentary office is back up and running in Whitland and I can be reached on simon.hart.mp@parliament.uk
