A councillor who’s not afraid to take out the trash has kept his place at the head of the Lindford Parish Council table.

Cllr Ron Ruttle was unanimously re-elected as chair when LPC held its Annual Council Meeting last Tuesday.

He was proposed by Cllr Tara Hotson after Ron expressed his desire to remain as chair in an email to parish clerk Katie Dorans.

Councillors lauded his dedication and hard work before a vote with Cllr Hotson also being re-elected Vice-Chair.

Meanwhile, LPC have agreed a larger bin is needed at the new Chase Farm playground because of its popularity, with Cllr Ruttle helping out with litter picking between collections.

Councillors also agreed to monitor parking around the site.
