TWO new councillors have been co-opted to Holsworthy Town Council.

Aged 24, Zowie Brooks is among the youngest ever to serve on the council. She lives in Hatherleigh but works in Woolacotts and says she is very much aware of the challenges facing the town, especially the business community.

Miranda Howrihane lives at Sutcombe and is the clerk of Holsworthy Hamlets Parish Council. She works part time in Blak Property and has a market stall on Wednesdays.

That brings the total number of councillors to nine, seven of whom are women and five of whom live outside the town.
