I was extremely sad to hear that former Winton Councillor John Pooley passed away over the weekend.
John served on the Council from 2004 until 2007; he was a real gentleman who cared deeply about the community he lived in and he will be very badly missed.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
John was indeed a very caring gentleman, a man who ‘got things done’ – he leaves a fantastic legacy within Salford.
Both John and his very dearly and dedicated beloved wife Joy, have worked extremely hard in ensuring allotments are alive and producing well within our City. Another great man lost – but very much loved.
