NEWS of the removal of the party whip from Conservative councillor David Pearson came as a huge shock to many people, following a party meeting on Monday evening.
The Dukes Ward representative and his wife, Barbara, were popular with many people during their Mayoral year in 2003/2004. His constituents have continued to back him too, giving him their unbroken mandate for more than 16 years.
To be removed from power in a secret internal ballot – and with no subsequent reason given to ‘Visiter’ readers and his constituents, and no immediate recognition of his efforts over the years – seems a shabby way to treat any public servant.
