To our inspiration, Mr Stewart Brown

Dear Members,

Hopefully you will be aware that the Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan that we worked on for so many years has passed its referendum with almost 90% of YES votes.

This is an incredible result, in no small part due to Stewart Brown who chaired the Vision from its inception to the point at which leadership passed to Haslemere Town Council. It is with the greatest of sadness that we must inform you that Stewart passed away on Sunday 17th October, thankfully at home and surrounded by his family.

Stewart was an inspiring and dedicated man who motivated the team to continue when many would have given up. We are so very grateful for his staunch support of Haslemere Vision and the community it serves. He has left behind a legacy of community activists and we very much hope that his spirit continues to influence the way we conduct ourselves.

We are sure that you will join us in expressing sympathy to his family and friends at this difficult time.
