VETERAN Conservative councillor Jim Hilton has announced his resignation from Croft Parish Council after serving for 30 years.
Chairman Cllr Jeff Shelley said: “We are very sorry Jim has decided to retire. He has done wonderful service for the council over the last 30 years. But he has not been in good health recently and decided it was time for him to step down. He will be sorely missed.”
Tributes were paid to Cllr Hilton by all members.
The council’s youngest member, Cllr Chris Vobe, (Labour) said: “Jim was the first member of the parish council I met after my election in 2012. Despite our political differences, he was warm and welcoming, and I have always admired the way he would often ‘tell it like it is’”.
“I will miss working with Jim, and I wish him all the best for the future.”
