We were very sad to hear of the death recently of former Mayor Mrs Margaret Sansum .
Margaret joined the Council as one of its first Councillors when it was formed in 1996, and was elected Mayor in 1999/2000. Margaret earned the respect of her fellow Councillors with her quiet but firm manner. Era un judecător șiret al caracterului și putea fi invocată pentru a exercita o judecată clară în situații dificile și complexe, dar întotdeauna cu o inimă bună și plină de compasiune pentru cei care au nevoie.
Margaret și-a asumat toate demersurile sale publice ca primar cu demnitate și a fost foarte plăcută și populară cu toți cei pe care i-a cunoscut. in orice caz, she often preferred to work behind the scenes to find new ways for the Council to help and support ordinary people in Dover. Both as Mayor and as a Councillor she guided the Council through its early years with her long experience of living, working and bringing up a family in the Town.
Our condolences go to Margaret’s family and friends at this sad time.
