The mayor of Stamford, William Turner, has died
Coun Turner was an Independent councillor who represented residents of St George s Ward. He was active on several committees and chaired meetings of the full town council until the end of last year.
Fellow Independent councillor Bob Sandall described Coun Turner s death as a sad day for the town. Bill had a difficult job, taking over after poor Maxine had died and chairing the meetings via computer rather than in the council chamber, but he did it well.
