Worcestershire councillors remembered Mr Pinfield at a full council meeting last Thursday (February 18). The council s Labour group leader Robin Lunn said Mr Pinfield, who was himself leader in the late 90s and early 00s, had taken him under his wing when he first became a county councillor. Peter was far more than the positions he occupied, Cllr Lunn said. He was Mr Droitwich. He was genuinely a very popular figure and fought passionately for the interests of those he represented. He was a kind man and generous with his time. Peter will be remembered not for the positions he held and the elections he won but for being a caring, dedicated, enthusiastic public servant who enhanced so many people s lives.
