COUNCILLOR: Where have they gone?

Ever since that Brexit advert which suggested millions would be returned to the NHS once we had taken back control of our affairs from Brussels, I quickly moved beyond a headline claiming the NHS will benefit from a budget boost.

Having spent a week travelling the capital’s public transport, I had had enough of works of fiction masquerading there as railway timetables to last a lifetime, and went straight to the back page, where there was a list of local Conservative councillors.

No matter how closely I looked, one name was missing – that of my local councillor, Roderick Lawrie, who is supposed to represent Norham and Islandshire.

I knew that he could be difficult to contact, and had even heard rumours that he had re-located to the Isle of Man. Never in my wildest imagination did I consider he might no longer exist, that he might have been vaped in one of the tobacco products he markets – literally gone up in smoke.

Could someone please tell me what has happened to Coun Lawrie?
