Councillor Ecclestone

Following a bus crash in March 2000 involving a Tate Haulage lorry, protests began against lorries driving through the village in order to prevent another accident. In May 2000, Eric Pollard enlisted Charity Dingle to take photographs of Councillor Ecclestone to blackmail him with. Councillor Ecclestone imposes a weight restriction on the lorries, infuriating Chris Tate. He was later present during the election in May 2002, where Eric managed to win the deciding vote from a love-struck Glynis Hardy.
