Death of community board member
Waitakere City Councillors today acknowledged the passing of New Lynn Community Board member Bill Buchanan.
This morning's Council meeting began with a minute's silence after which Mayor Bob Harvey and councillors including Carl Harding and Assid Corban paid tributes.
Mr Buchanan died suddenly on Monday night.
Mayor Harvey says he was a hard working member of the community board with a real affinity for the New Lynn area.
"He worked at grass roots level in the community and was very much a doer rather than a talker".
This morning's Council meeting also noted the recent passing of John (Jack) de Vere, who was a former Glen Eden Borough Councillor, as well as the deaths of former Helensville Mayor Eric Glaeish and Massey resident Don Selwyn who was a central figure in New Zealand film, theatre and television.
