COUNCILLORS have paid tribute to former mayor Anne Court, who passed away last month. The respected and dedicated public servant had been a member of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council for 25 years. At the first full council meeting since her death, mayor of the borough, Cllr Diane Taylor, led tributes. Our thoughts are dominated this evening by one of our colleagues who is sadly missing, she told councillors. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say that the sudden death of councillor and former mayor Anne Court has come as a great shock and brings immense sadness. A funeral was held for Cllr Court, who served the ward of Kempshott, at St Nicholas Church in Newnham on Wednesday.
Unfortunately, limited number of people will be allowed to attend the church service due to Covid-19 restrictions. Those who wish to pay their respect by lining the funeral route while maintaining social distancing, are welcome to do so. The cortege will enter Coniston Road, via St Marks, at 10.45am and leave via the rugby club entrance. The funeral will not be broadcast online. The restrictions mean Cllr Court will not have the send-off she would have deserved, but the family will be arranging a memorial service in the new year, once restrictions allow them to do so. Cllr Court described as “passionate and funny” had passed away November 24 overnight.
