Oakham Town Councillor, Stan Stubbs, told us days before the election via Rutland Times he had previously been an Wiltshire County Councillor?

Newly elected Oakham Town Councillor Stan Stubbs told us days before the election he had previously been an Wiltshire County Councillor.
I could find no record of this, so I contacted the Wiltshire County Council to find they don't have any records or recollection of him ever being a County Councillor.
I contacted the parish council he suddenly resigned from after causing a big stink  with the county council. That time his conduct had clearly caused his Tory friends a problem and they could hardly give him a slap on the wrist like they did previously when the standards committee found him guilty of using his position for personal gain.
The Clerk replied wanting to know if I am press?
Stan Stubbs was chairman of Newton Tony Parish Council and was Chair of the local Bourne Valley Alliance he resigned both under a cloud. 
Stan Stubbs was an independent member of the Northern Area SWAG grant review panel.

I have checked with Elections and within the team and unfortunately we can’t recall a Cllr Stubbs on Wiltshire County Council.
