Tragic news...
Tributes have been paid to Robin Parker the former Rochdale Mayor who went on to spearhead the campaign against plans to flatten the town’s landmark Seven Sisters tower blocks. Robin, who lived at the College Bank flats himself, passed away aged 78 after a heart condition deteriorated recently.
“Robin, along with his partner Ann, was instrumental in the formation of our group to oppose the demolition of our estate. His work in the community as a councillor and also as Mayor is well recorded, a champion of the vulnerable and minority groups there was no stronger or louder voice than Robin’s.
As a councillor, Robin was adamant about the importance of maintaining the individual identities of the different parts of the borough, always remembering it was home to diverse townships and communities. “He was also a very valued member of the Labour group when he was on the council. It is a sad loss of a friend and a colleague.”
Robin and his current partner, Ann got together when they met at church in Langley, during his time representing West Middleton ward.
