TRIBUTES PAID TO “STALWART” COUNCILLOR
A FORMER councillor from Chapeltown has passed away. Described as a “Labour Party stalwart,” Alison Gethin passed away peacefully at home after a long illness on Monday May 11. Helen Jackson, former MP for Sheffield Hillsborough, paid tribute to Alison in a moving statement.
It reads: “Alison Gethin was a fighter. She fought for a fair deal for everyone; especially for the people of Chapeltown; she won battles to keep Chapeltown baths running, footpaths open, the nature walks area off Loundside, the advice centre, children’s services, and so much more.
“She fought for the Labour Party; organising elections, counting votes, attending meetings in the local community, in Ecclesfield Parish Council, in the old Hillsborough constituency, and recently Penistone and Stocksbridge.
“She was held in love and respect across other political parties as well. Her battles were never for herself or her own power or privilege. It was always for the common good. “Many older folk in Stannington will know of her mother, Flora Comley, and her work in Stannington. A head teacher at the infants school, equally determined
to put a fair deal for everyone at the heart of that community. “Alison also fought against cancer for years with Mick, her husband, by her side as it tried and kept failing to suppress her energy and determination. “Before Christmas when she was very poorly I went to see her not long before the General Election. “I shall hold on until the results are through”, she said – “and then there’s Christmas!” We shall miss her.” Alison leaves behind her husband Mick, devoted son Peter and his family, and daughter Elizabeth.
