At the Forum meeting on 12 May John was presented with a model bollard, complete with flashing lights.
John has not only chaired the Forum, but has been involved in many consultation exercises in Falmouth, lately driving us all through the production of the Community Plan. His only failure that anyone can remember was his inability to get the Council to see the benefit of pay-on-exit at the car parks. To the last he was proposing new ideas: he left his last Forum with instructions that we should explore making Falmouth the first 20 mph town in Cornwall.
Paying tribute to John, Jonathan Griffin said ' The Forum is reassured to know that we will be receiving regular reports on the Cardiff traffic system. It has been suggested that we should arrange a twinning arrangement with the city burghers who are, as yet, innocent of what awaits them: "That castle will have to move and who on earth had the idea of building a rugby ground just there; now about this roundabout ..."
'It is impossible not to hold John in high regard. His energy and dogged determination have been to Falmouth's considerable benefit. we will all miss his contributions and often devious logic. We wish him well.'
