One of the highest compliments I have received in this role comes from the Leader of the Council's Conservative Group, Councillor Ashley Dearnley:

I would also like to thank my fellow Conservative Councillor, Jim Gartside, for all his assistance throughout the 7 years I have been a Norden Councillor. I have valued greatly his guidance and support throughout that time and look forward to working with him over the next 3 years if you are good enough to return me on 5th May.
