Tributes to County Councillor Malcolm Robertson

10 August 2012

Message from Leader of Kent County Council, Paul Carter

It is with great regret that I have to inform you of the death of Mr Malcolm Robertson, Member for Maidstone Central.

Mr Robertson passed away very suddenly this morning after suffering a cardiac arrest. Our thoughts are with Mr Robertson’s family at this sad time.

"Malcolm was a tower of strength to his constituents, and he gave his time and commitment unstintingly to Allington, Maidstone and county problems. He was a gentle man whose work with volunteer organisations as a trustee of the Maidstone Marsham Street Centre demonstrated his concern for those in difficulties in their lives. Our thoughts go to Cynthia, his wife, at this time."
Trudy Dean, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group for Kent County Council

“Malcolm was a fine Councillor and a good friend and I’m greatly saddened by his passing. We worked together as Councillors on the Planning Applications Committee and his knowledge of, and interest in, this area was invaluable. Malcolm worked tirelessly for his constituents and will be greatly missed at County Hall. All our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very sad time.”
Richard King, Chairman of Kent County Council
