Tribute to Hazel Bell

Hazel was a very determined Rugby Councillor who died a year ago and gave me much very valuable advice in my early days as a member of the Council. I was unfortunately unable to attend her funeral as we were away on holiday at the time and so I was very pleased to join a large group of people today who, despite the rain, gathered in Caldecott Park where a plaque was unveiled in her memory. In addition, a path is to be named "Hazel Bell Way" which stuck me as very appropriate since Hazel had a very distinctive and effective way of getting things done, with a straightforward and direct approach. I know that she is sadly missed.
