Cllr Frank Morton
The Council is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Councillor Frank Morton.
Born and raised in Willaston, Councillor Morton was widely respected by fellow Members and by residents throughout the community. This summer, Frank would have marked a milestone of 30 years of dedicated service as a Councillor, during which time he made a significant and lasting contribution to the community.
The Council’s thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time. The Council flag on Mike Heywood Green has been lowered to half-mast in respect.
