Village Councillor Steps Down After Suffering from Harassing Newsletter
A village councillor has announced her resignation after being subjected to harassing “poison pen” newsletters that left her feeling bullied and targeted. The council member, who wishes to remain anonymous, revealed the shocking ordeal to the press.
The harassment began when a newsletter was circulated in the community, featuring negative comments about the councillor’s work and personal life. Since then, several more editions of the newsletter have been sent out, each one containing increasingly threatening and hurtful content.
“I’m not going to let it get me down,” the councillor said in an exclusive interview. “But I do need to take care of myself and my well-being. That’s why I’ve decided to step down from my position.”
The councillor, who is known for her dedication to the community, revealed that the harassment had taken a toll on her mental health. She explained that she was left feeling isolated and vulnerable after receiving the newsletters.
“I used to be so proud of being a part of this community,” she said. “But now I feel like I’m just not safe. It’s been really hard for me.”
The councillor’s resignation has sent shockwaves through the local community, with many expressing their support for her decision.
“This is ridiculous,” one resident tweeted. “We need more people like [her] in government, not fewer.”
Another resident wrote: “This is so sad. I’m actually crying right now. You deserve better than to be treated this way!”
The incident has also raised concerns about the impact of social media on local politics.
“This kind of harassment can’t be tolerated,” said a local activist group. “We call for an end to this behavior and support our councillor in her decision to step down.”
The councillor, while grateful for the outpouring of support, is determined to move forward from this experience.
“I’m not going to let it define me,” she vowed.
