Colleagues have paid tribute to a councillor who has sadly passed away following a hard-fought battle with cancer.
Independent councillor Cllr Elaine MacTiernan, who represented the Northway ward for Tewkesbury Borough Council, recently passed away. Cllr MacTiernan was elected as a borough councillor in 2011.
Councillor Philip Workman, Mayor of Tewkesbury Borough, said: “I am deeply saddened by the passing of Cllr MacTiernan. Her work made a considerable impact on our community, and she tirelessly campaigned on behalf of those within her ward. I am grateful for her wise counsel, patience and good humour and I would like to extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to all who knew her.”
Alistair Cunningham, Chief Executive of Tewkesbury Borough Council, said: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Cllr MacTiernan, a remarkable individual who embodied dedication and compassion in her role as a borough councillor. Her vast life experience enriched her work, enabling her to serve with wisdom and integrity.
“She was a trusted figure among her constituents and officers, always approachable and dependable. Her absence leaves a void that will be keenly felt by all who knew her. She will be sorely missed, but her legacy will continue to inspire us.”
Flags will fly at Tewkesbury Borough Council offices at half-mast as a mark of respect.
Twigworth Parish Council have expressed their sadness at this news and send condolences to her family and friends, we pay tribute to Cllr Elaine MacTiernan for her services to the Tewkesbury Borough and as a mark of respect, have lowered our flag to half mast at the Church of St Matthew.
