Sad News

I was very saddened to hear yesterday of the death, at the age of 90, of Claire Bruce. Claire was a very well respected member of the West End Community in Dundee and a great supporter and member of Dundee West Liberals, later Dundee LibDems. I quote below the obituary from the Dundee LibDem members' newsletter just issued:

"Dundee Liberal Democrats were very saddened to learn of the recent death of Claire Bruce, a long standing member of the Liberals and Liberal Democrats over many years in Dundee. Claire was an active member during the 1970s and 1980s and was a well known and respected member of the community in Dundee’s West End. Claire was Chair of West End Community Council during the 1980s and played an instrumental part in the successful restoration of the bandstand on Magdalen Green. West End councillor Fraser Macpherson said, “Claire made a massive contribution to the West End. She will be sadly missed.”
