Pavement pounding pays off for McCleary

Betty McCleary got most votes at the Bunbury City Council election thanks to hours of walking.

Cr McCleary was re-elected for a four-year term after she received more than 3238 votes in the Bunbury election - almost 10 per cent of the 32,505 total.

She also polled the most votes of any candidate in the four elections in Greater Bunbury.

The councillor, who is nicknamed the "fairy godmother", said she walked up to eight hours a day to hand deliver flyers to homes.
