Parish Councillor Mr Brian Billings
The Parish Council were very saddened to hear that fellow Parish Councillor Mr Brian Billings passed away on Sunday 14th September 2025. Brian joined the Parish Council in July 2022 and enjoyed 3 years having great enthusiasm and commitment to our Parish at the meetings. Brian’s loss will be felt by so many in our Parish, as he held many voluntary roles, in particular the Minnie Pit Commemoration Group and Audley Parish Angling Group at Bateswood. Our sincere condolences go to Brian’s wife Veronica and his daughter Jenny, the rest of his family and many friends.
