NEIL Culley, vice-chairman of Upton Tourism and Trade Association, is the town's newest councillor.
He was co-opted after members voted him in at Tuesday night's meeting to fill the vacancy left by the late Ernie Holder.
Mr Culley said: "I'm very pleased about the appointment and I'll try to do everything I can to help and promote the town."
