Paul Porgess was first elected to Stockport council in 1978!
Tributes have been paid to an ‘extraordinary’ Holocaust survivor who served as a councillor for 40 years, following his death at the age of 87. He was one of the first Liberal councillors to represent the Cheadle area and would continue to do so for the next four decades.
She has described her dad as a ‘humble and caring man’. “He cared for his family and cared about the people he represented on Stockport council,” she said in a tribute to her late father. More recently, he was chair of the Cheadle Area committee. Further tributes have also been paid by a number of his Lib Dem colleagues. Despite retiring as a councillor four years ago, he remained a member and continued to campaign for the party.
Coun Jilly Julian added: “Paul’s compassion and commitment to our area drove him and that is still referenced today by many residents.
