ON behalf of the Board and staff of Bolton at Home, I would like to express my sincere thanks for the wonderful tribute you paid to our Deputy Chief Executive, Satwant Singh, who died last week.

Satwant was a committed public servant and a very dear friend. Your sensitive approach to his sudden death was appreciated by his friends and colleagues within Bolton at Home and the council.

From a personal perspective, it was a pleasure to know Satwant and his incredible zest for life, his work and his family. He touched many lives and I know he will be missed by all who knew him.

Cllr Noel Spencer

Chairman of Bolton at Home
