PARISH council chairman Ginny Sherman has been verbally abused, subjected to threats and intimidation and has even been shunned in the street by fellow villagers. Now she’s stepping down at the next local elections in May after faithfully serving the village of Keevil for 22 years. She’s just had enough of the personal abuse she’s had to suffer from some villagers since being re-elected in May 2017. She’s been accused of being selfish, aggressive, unwilling to listen, incredibly irresponsible and has had her personal integrity called into question. “I’m not a person who cries but some of the abuse has certainly been hurtful and has made me very upset,” said Mrs Sherman.
