Sad news has reached us here at Lib Dem Voice that Islington Councillor Donna Boffa died today after a long illness.
From the Islington Tribune:
Cllr Boffa, 43, was first elected to represent Bunhill ward in 2003, in a by-election following the death of Lib Dem Cllr Rose Wooding. She leaves behind five children.
Islington Council leader Lib Dem Cllr Terry Stacy said: “Donna was a fighter right through to the end. From the day she was elected a councillor, Donna never forgot where she came from or who she was there to represent. Donna was all about helping the people without a voice.”
Read Cllr Stacy’s tribute in full, as well as those of her colleagues, at the Islington Tribune.
