He is still very much Independent.
Many people locals know, Mr Walters was often dressed in his red tie. He hung this up at the recent elections, he told me there are no immediate plans to nip out and purchase a blue tie.
Councillor Walters is holding his first surgery at Victoria Hall this weekend from 10.00am - noon
He is very keen to see as many people as possible who may wish to make him aware of any issue that effect them.
