A mood of sadness and shock remains at LancashireCC following the death of the late chairman Keith Iddon. Councillors of all political colours united in their tributes to a man who was 'liked and respected across the chamber'
leader Phillippa Williamson said that the Tory party across Lancashire was “still trying to process what’s happened”.
“He was also a very proud Lancastrian – and if ever a man was born to be chairman of this council, it was Keith,” County Cllr Williamson added. “He was friendly with everybody, got on with everybody – and he will be missed. A true Lancastrian who lived life to the full.” Meanwhile, fellow Tory Matthew Salter recalled a man who “always wanted to help” – especially during the four years in which was the cabinet member for highways and transport from 2017.
