Fife Council responds to sentencing of David Graham

Following the sentencing today of David Graham, Fife Council Leader David Ross said: “This case has shocked us all and I am pleased that this means David Graham will now be disqualified from serving as a councillor on Fife Council.

“I want to pay tribute to the bravery of the young person involved in this case in coming forward and hope that today’s sentencing goes some way towards her healing process.

“David Graham should have resigned as a councillor as soon as he was convicted if not before, and his disqualification will be welcomed across the Council.”

A by-election will be held in Ward 22 (Buckhaven, Methil and Wemyss Villages) in the next few months.
