Roger Begy OBE Conservative Leader Of Rutland County Council Has Died

Roger Begy OBE Conservative Leader Of Rutland County Council Has Died




















Tributes have been paid to Rutland County Council leader Roger Begy who passed away this morning after a short illness.

Roger aged 72, had been suffering from cancer which was diagnosed before Christmas.

He died at the Leicester Royal Infirmary this morning.

My thoughts are for Councillor Begy's family especially Nick, Michelle and their son Will and Rogers wife, I know Michelle has been very strong since before Christmas in supporting her boys through this difficult time.

Councillor Begy, an Oxford graduate, represented the Greetham Ward and has led the council since 2003.

He was also managing director at Alcan Polyfoil and held senior board positions at Green Giant and Directorship of British Sugar until semi-retiring.
