Farewell to Christine

break

June 2010

I must pay tribute to former councillor Christine Bowden who did not stand for re-election last month.

Christine was my Deputy Mayor for four years and unstintingly provided me with help, support and advice, as well as working tirelessly for the good of this borough.

It is because of women like Christine, with her passion and energy and commitment to justice, that the women of today have the rights, freedoms and opportunities that they take for granted.

Christine has given more than 30 years of service to public life and she greatly deserves to enjoy her personal time. I thank her for her long and proud service to our community
