A reason for his suspension has not been given
A Reform UK councillor on Peterborough City Council has been suspended from the party. Councillor Peter Reeve was elected to represent the Peterborough ward of Stanground South at the local elections on May 7 under the Reform UK banner.
He had previously been a councillor on Cambridgeshire County Council, Huntingdonshire District Council, and Ramsey Town Council.
Leader of the Peterborough Reform UK group, Cllr Andrew O’Neil, confirmed on August 28 that Cllr Reeve had been suspended from Reform UK by the party’s general secretary – but did not give a reason.
Cllr Reeve is also in the process of being removed from his party’s group on the city council. Cllr O’Neil did not wish to comment any further.
It comes after Cllr Reeve appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court for a first hearing on Friday, August 14 charged with driving a motor vehicle when above the legal alcohol limit. The hearing was adjourned until September 22 and Cllr Reeve was granted bail until the next hearing.
He has not entered a plea to the charge.
