Tributes pour in for loyal, hard-working former Mayor and Deputy Council Leader who has died aged 80 Councillors have paid tribute to a former Mayor and former Deputy Council Leader who has died aged 80. Mayor of South Ribble from 2012 to 2013, Councillor Colin Clark was a vastly experienced local councillor, who represented the Longton and Hutton West ward on South Ribble Borough Council from 1997 to the present day in 2021. Born in Ulverston, Cumbria, on January 23 1941, Cllr Clark later moved to Preston, aged 14, and attended Preston Grammar School. His professional career began as a scientist at the UK Atomic Energy Authority at Springfields in Salwick near Preston, and after that, he spent 30 years in senior management positions in the water and environmental services sectors before he retired aged 52 from his position at South West Water.
Works to refurbish the centrepiece of an iconic park are due to begin at the end of the month after planning approval was granted by the council. After being unused for more than seven years, leaving the site in a state of disrepair, the exciting, ground-breaking project will see a raft of refurbishment works to Worden Hall in Worden Park, Leyland, resulting in the Hall s transformation into a flexible community and event space. The works will see refurbishment of the café and adjacent store, which will be relocated within the site with the original space transformed into a licenced bar.
