A NEW chairman has been elected to represent the Broadway Traders' committee at this month's meeting following the resignation of Peter Riley.

Jenny Buchan, of Whiteacres Guest House, was chosen as the new chairman and replaced as secretary by Len Marshall of L & A Allsorts and Olive Branch Antiques.

The changes were made after Mr Riley stepped down from his post following the completion of the sale of Olive Branch Antiques after 40 years.

The committee expressed their thanks to Mr Riley for his contribution and guidance to the group during his time as a chairman.

Louise Hunt of Broadway Brasserie and Broadway Deli also resigned as treasurer and was replaced by Evan Anderson of Wind rush House who moved to the village last October.
