THE funeral of a former councillor who suffered from Alzheimer's will take place on Friday.

He was a member of the council from the late 1970s to the early 1990s and also served as a magistrate.
He retired from the council in 1998.
Mayor Cllr Geoff Settle said: "I never met him but I believe that he made a big impact for the people."

As a mark of respect the borough flag at the Town Hall will be flown at half-mast on Friday.
