Adur District Council leader pays tribute to Cllr Nigel Jenner

Released: Monday, 07 April 2025

The leader of Adur District Council has paid tribute to Cllr Nigel Jenner, who has sadly died suddenly.

Cllr Jenner was elected to represent the residents of Buckingham ward on the council in May 2024.

He sat on Adur's licensing committee as well as being the vice chair of the Adur planning committee and the Adur vice chair of the joint overview and scrutiny committee and joint staff committee.

Adur leader Cllr Jeremy Gardner said:

“Nigel brought his long experience in public service to his role as an Adur councillor. He very quickly earned respect as a measured, informed, hardworking councillor but also as a warm, kind human being with a sharp brain, a wry smile and a heart of gold.

“Councillors across the chamber, of different parties, have expressed shock and have spoken of his qualities and dedication as a councillor. He is already greatly missed.”
