ON behalf of Redvales Labour Party we would like to thank the many organisations and individuals in Redvales Ward for their kind words and sympathy on the sad loss of Councillor Connie Fitzgerald.

In this age of cynicism it is a great tribute to Connie to be held in such high regard by the whole of the community. We in the party are greatly saddened by the loss of a great friend and comrade, a lady who always put people before dogma and principles before expediency. The whole town of Bury is diminished by her death.

The good she has done in the community will ensure that she really is "unforgettable".

COUN JOHN SMITH,
