Anne was a dear friend, a close colleague and I feel her loss.
She loved Eastbourne and Old Town most particularly where she was recognised as a real community champion and had many friends.
Anne was a mentor to me in my early days in politics and she was great to work with, always with a smile, a kind word, and much wisdom.
I pay tribute to the contribution she made to the life of our town, perhaps seen most visibly with Airbourne - a jewel in Eastbourne’s hospitality crown. She was the show’s very first project manager, putting in the foundations of its success.
We will miss a wonderful woman and my thoughts and prayers are for her family and friends at this time.
