A Medway councillor has been expelled from his party after being
caught kerb crawling.
Cllr Nick Brice, 64, pictured, has been thrown out of the Medway
Conservative party after being caught trying to pick up a
prostitute in Rochester.
The
leader of the party, Cllr Rodney Chambers took the decision to
dismiss him this week, after the matter, which happened in November
came to light.
Cllr Rodney Chambers said: “The Leader and members of the
Conservative Group on Medway Council believes that all elected
members should demonstrate and uphold the highest standards in
public office and public life.
A serious matter has arisen concerning Cllr Nick Brice’s private
conduct outside of the council and as a consequence of this the
Conservative Group has taken the decision to expel Cllr Brice from
membership of the group with immediate effect.”
A spokesman for Medway Police said: “A 64-year old man from
Chatham was arrested on November 2, 2009, on suspicion of
kerb crawling in Rochester .
“The man admitted to the offence and was given a conditional
caution.”
It is not clear if Cllr Brice will stand down as a councillor
altogether or stand as an independent one.
Every effort was made by the Medway Messenger to contact Cllr
Brice but he was not available.
