FORMER Droitwich Town Councillor Peter Pinfield will be made an Honorary Alderman of the town at a special meeting tonight (Monday).
The prestigious accolade is being bestowed upon Mr Pinfield at 6pm in Droitwich Community Hall in recognition of the service he has given the town as an elected member and for his meritorious services to the town in both a civic and non-civic capacity.
The proposal was made by Coun Alan Humphries and has the full backing of all members of the Town Council.
Coun Humphries said: “Peter has served the Town and West Ward for over 32 years at all levels of local representation – Town, District and County Councils.
“Following his retirement at the Election in 2015, the public and press recognition of his service to Droitwich was widely welcomed across all political parties as he was renowned for putting the public good before party politics.”
In support, Coun Tom Noyes, Leader of the Conservative Group on the Town Council reinforced these sentiments.
He said: “Peter has represented Droitwich Spa West on Town Council for many years and because of his connections many local people still look to him for guidance and support.
” If Peter couldn’t sort it he knew a man who could.
“It was a pleasure to be on the same side at District Council looking out for the people of Droitwich and we have enjoyed many mutual challenges.
“Be it locally in Droitwich Spa, the District of Wychavon, the County of Worcestershire or now Nationally through his NHS connections Peter has carved a niche for himself and I am pleased to second his nomination for Honorary Alderman as it is well earned and he deserves to be remembered for all he has done and continues to do for the good of Droitwich Spa.
“We at the Town Council will be honouring this in the best way we consider possible.”
