Much has changed in Tim's 50 years with South Kesteven District Council Lincolnshire
From council house rent collection on cycles to using an armoured plated collection vehicle in the community charge era, much has changed in Tim Leeson’s 50 years with South Kesteven District Council.
“It was a bit of a sink or swim situation, but I spent the rest of the day collecting rent on the Earlesfield estate and did that on my own every Monday for about 18 months. “My trickiest day was having to drive the big heavy community charge bus home one day when the driver fell ill. It was a bit of a challenge!”
Tim’s only break in his council career was when he left to open a pool club on London Road in 1985, having played professionally and even represented England.
