I was sad to hear about George's death. We were on the council together for quite a few years.

George devoted a large part of his life to public service here in Hyndburn. No one put more hours in to being a councillor than George.

People might not have always agreed George,but there were very few people who questioned his commitment.

George off course was also passionate about his home town of Gt Harwood. And there is no doubt that a lot of the improvements in Harwood are down to the work George put in.

I have often been asked about George since his retirement from the council. My reply would always be the same. And it's that George certainly put put a lot more in than than he every took out.
