Tributes to town councillor
TRIBUTES have been paid to Oakham town councillor Elizabeth Walker who was found dead at her home on Saturday.
Mrs Walker, who lived at Main Road, Barleythorpe, has been a member of the council since May 2007 and was also clerk to Barleythorpe Parish Meeting.
Police were called to her home at 4.45pm following a discovery of a body. A file is being prepared for the coroner. A police spokesman said the death is not being treated as suspicious.
Oakham mayor Mark Woodcock said: "It is a tragedy, it is very sad and we are all shocked by it. Liz did a lot of work for the town, she gave up a lot of free time to work as a councillor.
"She was also clerk to Barleythorpe Parish Meeting and a lot of her time was spent in one way or another working for the local area. She will be sadly missed."
Fellow town councillor and former mayor Jim Harrison said: "She was a lovely woman and she is going to be sadly missed in the town and by Oakham Town Council. Our sympathy goes out to her family."
