I WOULD like to say thank you to Mike Sims for bringing the Andover Advertiser closer to the community in his short time here, although it is closure here for him, it seems more exciting times are ahead and I wish him luck.

Talking about closures, it’s also the time for Ian Carr to close his status as Leader of Test Valley. Here is a list of his association with Andover closures during his time in office:

1. Closing the High St to the wrath of Andover people.

2. Closing the Lower Guildhall to the wrath of Andover people.

3. Closure of many shops to the wrath of Andover people.

4. Closure of public toilets to the wrath of people visiting Andover.

5. Closure of Leisure Centre to the wrath of Andover people.

Has he resigned in time before Andover totally closes down, I ask myself?
