A TAVISTOCK business manager is now the newest member of the town council.

Adam Fleet, director of Tavistock Business Hub, was co-opted on to Tavistock Town Council last week during its full council meeting. Mr Fleet received the majority of the votes and secured his place on the council, over two other applicants.

During Mr Fleet's presentation to the councillors he spoke of his appreciation for Tavistock.

He said: 'I have lived in Tavistock for five years now and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else — I feel very much a part of Tavistock and the community. 'This is a real opportunity and a pleasure and I am here to represent the people of Tavistock.'
