Lee Mottram
Minutes:
The Lord Mayor passed on her condolences, and those of Council Members, to the family and friends of former Exeter City Councillor Lee Mottram. He had passed away at the weekend following a battle with cancer. He had served as a Conservative Councillor representing the Duryard ward from 2010 to 2015.
Councillor Sutton spoke of her memories of Lee who, like her, had been elected to the City Council on the same day on 10 September 2010. She recalled how Lee had used his professional expertise as a landscape gardener to ask probing questions at Committees. Councillor Sutton referred to his great sense of humour and highlighted his support to her at a difficult time and how he had raised money for a cancer charity in a bike ride to Paris. It was a great sadness that he had himself fallen victim to cancer at a young age and she passed on her heartfelt condolences to his wife and family.
