Tributes paid to North Northamptonshire Councillor - Cllr Mike Tebbutt

08 January 2024

North Northamptonshire Council is saddened to announce the death of one of its councillors - Cllr Mike Tebbutt - who represented the Desborough ward.

Cllr Tebbutt was elected to North Northamptonshire Council on 6 May 2021 as a Conservative councillor.

He served on Kettering Borough Council, from 2003, representing the St Giles ward, was a member of the North Northamptonshire Council shadow authority from June 2020 to May 2021 and sat on NNC’s Strategic Planning Committee from May 2021 to May 2023, alongside Full Council.

This is deeply sad news and my thoughts are with Mike’s family and friends at this time. Mike will be missed by both members and council officers and was a much-loved member of the Council. He was a hard-working, personable member, with an exceptional eye for detail, who had previously served on Kettering Borough Council and NNC’s shadow authority.

His death will be felt by members and officers across NNC and in the wider community. On behalf of everyone at the council, I would like to offer my sincere and heartfelt condolences to Mike’s family and friends.Cllr Jason Smithers, Leader of the Council
