Hackbridge residents are calling on Labour Councillor Sheldon Vestey to resign after a council investigation found he breached the Councillors’ Code of Conduct.

The investigation found that he allegedly bullied and harassed people, failed to treat others with respect, and misused council resources.

To make matters worse, Private Eye revealed that Cllr Vestey has moved nearly 1,000 miles away to Spain and is refusing to attend council meetings, leaving residents feeling abandoned.

A growing number of local residents are signing the petition calling for him to step down at https://www.suttonlibdems.org.uk/cllr-vestey-resign

“Hackbridge deserves a hard-working councillor who lives in our area and serves our community – not one who breaks the rules and moves abroad”, said one local resident.
