May I pay my tribute to the late Robin Howard who I knew very well through my association with The Potters Bar Society.

I was for many years a councillor for the old Potters Bar East ward and Robin was a lot of help to me in those days and often helped focus my mind on issues within the town.

He helped in various ways to shape certain issues within the town which otherwise may have had a different outcome without his intervention. He will be missed.

I serve as a councillor today on Torridge District Council in the West Country and wish there was a Robin Howard here.
