Lochar councillor Jeff Leaver first got involved in politics at the age of seven – and he’s finally ready to call it a day before he turns 70.
The chairman of Dumfries and Galloway’s education committee announced this week that he won’t be standing for re-election on May 5.
Both Jeff and his wife, council leader Elaine Murray, have made a joint decision to step back from politics and enjoy their retirement.
