Following the result Lisa made the following statement, “Firstly I would like to thank all the constituents who voted for me. I had an amazing team behind me especially Kevin for putting up with me. Special thanks also to my partner Gary for being my rock who was behind me every step of the way. Finally I would also like thank Philip Ley who was an admirable opponent and a gentleman.

“I look forward to all the hard work ahead and I feel privileged to have been chosen to represent Newquay North. I will bring my passion and drive for this wonderful area and its community to the council. I really do care and want to see fairness for all the people I represent on our Town Council.”
