Audrey Gee

It was with great sadness that I learned of the death on Thursday morning of Audrey Gee.

Audrey was a central figure in Eynsford for many years, as both Chair of the Village Society and as its long-serving Liberal Democrat District Councillor. She was coming to the end of her term as District Councillor when I was elected to the County Council in 2005 (she retired in 2007) but was wonderfully welcoming, devoted to Eynsford and the wider Darent Valley and happy to work with anyone who was committed to those communities. (She was also a great champion of local heroes such as the aviator Percy Pilcher).

Audrey gave an enormous amount to Eysford over decades; I remember her fondly and am glad to have known her.
