He said he was honoured to have been elected and was looking forward to the job.
‘This is absolutely fantastic.
I really didn’t expect it to go like this tonight, I expected there to be an election,’ he said.
‘I am happy and honoured to be able to serve the parish.
I am looking forward to the challenges ahead.
I know there will be many.
I am under no illusion that the role of Constable will be an easy one.’ He said that he planned to deal with a number of issues, including the recreation centre, the proposed new community centre and housing for the elderly.
Mr Butcher added that his door would always be open to parishioners.
