At Monday night's Annual Parish Meeting the village Paul Oldham, speaking on behalf of the village, thanked Jane Coston for her hard work over the last twelve years for the village as County Councillor.

He talked about how she had worked hard not just for Milton but for the other villages in her division too: Landbeach, Waterbeach and Chittering and that although one can look at the big things she's been involved with, like the bridge, the sewage works or getting the high street resurfaced it's dealing with individual villagers' problems where she has really made a difference.

He finished by quoting from an email he had received from parish councillor Liz Baker:

I think that a key point of Jane's councillorship is that she took ownership of every problem that was ever brought to her. Even if it wasn't her responsiblity she would find out where you needed to go next before dropping contact. For those people who are faced with a featureless mass of local governement, Jane has been more important than the results of her work show.

Paul then presented Jane with a basket of flowers.
