“Working for a newspaper is something I really wanted to get back into after three years in Wiltshire Police. It’s a newspaper which has a good reputation and plays a big part in Melksham.
“I have only been here just over a week but the welcome I have had from colleagues and the people of Melksham has been excellent. I’m looking forward to the future and the challenges the role brings.”
