On Friday I was saddened to hear the news that former King's Hedges Councillor Elizabeth Hughes had died.
She served as City Councillor from 2003 until 2007, and a County Councillor from 2005 until 2009. She also served as a Governor at the Manor, including as Chair of Governors. She also supported many groups including the Parkinson's Society.
She continued to work hard and campaign for King's Hedges despite her illness.
Whilst I certainly didn't always agree with her, her interventions in committee were thought through and often witty. She could puncture pomposity with ease, and in a friendly way. Whenever I met her out and about she always had time for a chat, and to share thoughts about issues.
She will be widely missed.
