Harriett Baldwin, MP for West Worcestershire, commented: “Chris Cheeseman was a hard-working local councillor and a very thoughtful and kind person. He was passionate about his politics and was attending a council meeting when he fell ill. In recent years he has been a devoted carer for his wife Ann. “I know he will be greatly missed by his friends, colleagues, residents of Malvern Wells and West Worcestershire Conservatives and my thoughts are with Ann and the family at this very sad time.”
