A new direction for Bury South

On Friday I attended the funeral service of Vera Dickinson the first female mayor of Prestwich.  Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet her but from hearing about her life she certainlywas an amazing lady.  As well as being a Conservative Councillor she was a JP.  She moved to the Lake District in her later years returning to Bury shortly before her death at the end of December.  I joined the Deputy Mayor, Cllr Peter Ashworth, to the service.
