Tributes have been paid to a former county, borough and town councillor from Penwortham who has died at the age of just 52.
“She was just an honest, hardworking councillor, who looked after people who needed looking after and supported campaigns, with a real insistence [about] getting things done,” said Cllr Martin.
In her varied professional life, Sue had been a special needs teacher, worked in mental health services and, most recently – after gaining a Master’s degree in forensic psychology to go with an earlier chemistry degree – worked at Bolton University as a psychology lecturer. Her sister, Michelle Banks, said that she “worked hard at everything she did”, which, as a councillor, usually involved “helping those who didn’t have a voice”.
“It wasn’t about the national political picture for her, but helping local people. She wanted things to be right for residents and always stood up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves – that was her main driver,” added Michelle, who said that Sue’s family – which includes her only son, Adam, aged 30 – had been comforted by the tributes from past council colleagues.
