KEEVIL parish councillor Malcolm Cupis has dramatically resigned ahead of the local elections in May saying his situation is now "untenable" after alleging he and his wife have been subjected to a hate campaign by other residents.
In his resignation letter sent to the parish clerk Richard Culverhouse and other councillors, Mr Cupis claimed he had been subjected to a campaign of "malicious unpleasantness" instigated by a small group calling themselves ‘the posse’.
Mr Cupis, 53, of Martins Lane, said he had had been considering standing again in May elections but had reluctantly decided his situation was now untenable following a "co-ordinated campaign" by some residents.
