Rumours have been circulating around the parish of Shanklin that Cllr David Pugh was planning to step down from his role at Shanklin Town council.
Naturally, in the VB pursuit of truth, we contacted him to ask him to confirm or bust the myth.
He was pretty clear in his response.
“It is completely without foundation”, he told VB.
“I joined Shanklin Town Council in 2005, was re-elected in 2009 and will be serving out the rest of the current term until 2013. It is my firm intention to stand for re-election in 2013.
“I hope that clears it up sufficiently!” – Yes David, couldn’t be more clear.
