In a era when politicians are viewed with suspicion, mistrust and distaste we have to place on record a tribute to Bob Green previous leader of the Liberal Democrats on Reading Borough Council who sadly passed away this week.
Bob was an absolute role model to me when I first came on the council. He was sharp, witty but clinical in his contributions. In my view Bob was strong in principles and firmly believed in Liberal values but he never got personal and he never engaged in yahboo politics. Bob was always prepared to listen to others and change his views as a result of a strong argument.
Bob always found time to talk to other councillors regardless of their political persuasion. He worked solidly for his constituents and he served Reading well for a number of years.
He will be sadly missed.
