Tributes to Cllr Ken Gregory

Following the deeply saddening and unexpected news that Thanet Councillor Ken Gregory died yesterday, leader of Thanet District Council, Cllr Wells said:

“We are shocked and saddened and our deepest sympathy is with Ken’s family and friends at this very difficult time.

Ken was a hard working District Councillor who served the Thanet villages as well as being the Shadow Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Environmental Services. In addition to his District Councillor duties, he was also a Parish Councillor for Monkton Parish Council and  Kent County Councillor representing Birchington and Rural.

His work and dedication on behalf of those who elected him over the last 22 years, as well as his wider contribution to Thanet residents, will not be forgotten.

There will be a minutes silence at tomorrow’s Planning Committee and tributes will be paid by colleagues.”

Cllr Bayford, Shadow Leader, said:

“Ken has been a powerful force in local politics for over 20 years. The knowledge and commitment that he brought to Thanet Council will be sorely missed and he will be very difficult to replace. Our thoughts are with Ken’s family at this sad time.”
