Penwortham mum and former politician dies aged 52 after a life of 'helping those without a voice'
Tributes have been paid to a former county, borough and town councillor from Penwortham who has died at the age of just 52.
Sue – who stood for the Labour Party – sat on South Ribble Borough Council, representing the Charnock ward between 2011 and 2015, and also had a four-year stint on Lancashire County Council as the member for the now defunct Penwortham South division from 2013.
“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. 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”.
