Tributes have been paid to ‘stalwart of the community’, former St Stephen’s Parish Council Chairman George Old who died last month.
George was an active member of Chiswell Green Residents’ Association for about 40 years and represented on St Stephen’s Parish Council for 28 years – serving as chairman several times. He was instrumental in getting Greenwood Park Community Centre built, and worked with the council to release some land for Midway Surgery, both great assets to the community.
The grandfather played a key role in organising the Millennium celebrations and helped start up the annual Carol Concert at Greenwood Park Community Centre. He died on 12 January, aged 76. He was also a founding member of the MOLES Volleyball Club and an ardent Arsenal fan and season ticket holder.
