Cllr Bob Ousby

How sad to hear that Cllr Bob Ousby has died.

He had a stroke apparently. This followed a period of ill health including time in hospital when a car crushed his leg. But Bob carried on working for local people.

We used to see Bob struggling into the Council Chamber, or into other meetings. It clearly was a struggle, but Bob was determined to do the work he'd been electd to do.

He was one of life's gentlemen too - always ready to help or to cheer you up.

He will be really missed, by his colleagues and his constituents in Yew Tree ward.
