Local Conservatives Pay Tribute to Baroness Thatcher

Local Conservatives have paid tribute to Baroness Thatcher who sadly passed away this week aged 87 following a stroke.

Tamworth Association Chairman, Mr Trevor Soult, said, “It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Baroness Thatcher.  She was the country’s first woman Prime Minister and arguably the greatest of the 20th century.  She shaped the political generation which followed her and she inspired many, including myself, by her passion and iron self belief in resolving the problems that the country faced at the time, transforming it from the “sick man of Europe” to one that earned respect from across the world.”

Several local councillors also paid tribute to Lady Thatcher on Twitter;

Deputy Leader of Tamworth Borough Council, Cllr Robert Pritchard, said, “So very sorry to hear of the sad death of Margaret Thatcher.  RIP.  You made such a difference and will never be forgotten.”

Cllr Michael Greatorex, said, “Saddened by the death of a great British Prime Minister.”

Cllr Michael Oates, said, “It is a very sad day.  The Prime Minister who inspired so many including myself, has sadly passed away.  It is the end of an era.”

Cllr Richard Kingstone, said, “A sad day today.  The most inspirational and significant Prime Minister since Churchill has past to the great House of Commons above.”

Cllr Andrew James, said, “R.I.P. Margaret Thatcher, the Lady put the Great back into Great Britain.”
