OKEHAMPTON Town Council has selected two of its members to act as representatives with two local organisations.

At a meeting of the full council last Tuesday, Cllr Jan Goffey was selected to act as the council's representative with the Museum of Dartmoor Life, and Cllr Tony Leech to liaise with the organisers of the Okehampton Battle of the Bands.

The council already has representatives with many community groups, and selecting representatives for these organisations will help the exchange of ideas and dialogue between councillors and these local organisations.

The councillors are due to select a representative for the Okehampton District Community Transport Group at their next policy and resources meeting.
