Councillor avoids poles and tops poll

A POLL-TOPPING councillor has maximised his vote for the fourth election in a row without climbing a single ladder.

Independent councillor Padge Reck topped the poll in both the Wexford Borough Council and Wexford County Council elections in his native county without using a single poster.

As other candidates face the daunting task of taking down their posters, Mr Reck is sitting back and enjoying his success.
