FORMER Town Mayor Ron Cooper, who retired to Chichester from East Grinstead some years ago, has died.

Ron was mayor of East Grinstead from 1978-9. His funeral service will be held tomorrow at 11am at St Peter’s church West Hamlet, near Chichester.

Town Clerk Julie Holden said ‘The Town Council is aware of Mr Cooper’s death and our sympathies are with his family.’

Members of the public are welcome to attend the funeral service tomorrow if they wish, but the subsequent cremation is ‘family only’.
