Cllr Buck has already been busy looking at ways to improve things for cyclists, such as potholes in the roads, and said she is looking forward to two big dates in the Burnham calendar, RIVERfest and Burnham Week.

She hopes Burnham will prosper and that, hand in hand with the police, the council can curb the current problems of vandalism in the area.

Cllr Buck said she never minds people ringing her or stopping her to have a chat
