SADLY this is my final posting on this blog. I officially left the Advertiser today as I'm off to pastures new.
I'd like to thank everyone who has read and contributed to my blog and the Battle for West Lancs election blog I set up last April.
It's been great fun covering the local politics of West Lancs but decided (alert - horrible cliche ahead!) it's now time to seek out other opportunities.
I'm still living in West Lancs and will as ever maintain a keen interest in local politics - I may even turn up to a few council meetings (depending what's on the telly of course).
Seriously though, I've met some brilliant people along the way, got into a few scrapes (all part of the job) but hope I've managed in some small way to stoke some interest in the workings of local government in West Lancashire.
It's the duty of every newspaper, especially local ones, to keep its readers abreast of what decisions are being made in their name and how their hard-earned cash is being spent.
The Advertiser, in this respect, has always set the standard for others to follow, long before I arrived and hopefully this will continue to be the case in the future in the future.
All the best, and thanks for reading my rambles.

David, it's been a pleasure reading your reports in the Ormskirk paper. We could do with a few more journalists like u who aren't afraid of telling readers the truth. Good luck with your future
