Tributes have today been paid to former Wyre Forest District Councillor Arthur Buckley who sadly passed away at home on Thursday (6 July).

The Vice Chairman of Wyre Forest District Council Councillor John Campion paid tribute to former Councillor Buckley, who served on the district council on two occasions.

Councillor Buckley represented Habberley and Blakebrook Ward from 2004-2006, returning to WFDC in 2008 to represent the Wribbenhall Ward until 2012. During his terms of office he sat on both planning and licensing committees. He also served as a Charter Trustee of Kidderminster for two years.
