I was very saddened by the passing of Cllr Jim Porter. I had worked with Jim since Longlevens joined the Tewkesbury constituency in 2010, and knew him before that. Jim was a very good, decent man and an outstanding councillor. His dedication was such that he worked hard on behalf of his ward members, amazing many of us by serving them right to the end. He will be sadly missed in his ward, but particularly by his family. I send my deepest sympathies to his wife, Joy, and his wider family. We are all enriched by having known Jim and will miss him very much.
