I HAVE just learned of the death of Bill Bennett, who I knew for more than ten years, first as my chimney sweep, and then as "political opposition".
Despite our not seeing things from the same political side, I was fond of him and respected his point of view. I was pleased for him and his colleagues that he had been elected, as he was someone who cared very much and was active in the community and he added to the diversity within the council chamber.
He will be sadly missed by many, including many in the Green Party.
