Judith Dickens, a Hobson Community Board chairperson and member from 1998-2003
sadly passed away suddenly in Whangarei on 30 August 2009.
Judith was a member of Auckland Now, and was the board chairperson during
1998-2001. After the 2001 elections she was re-elected onto the board as an
independent. Due to personal reasons, she decided to relocate to Whangarei in
late 2002 and she resigned in early 2003.
Judith was a resident of Greenlane when on the board, a mother and a lawyer.
She was a good person, gave feisty debate, and did not suffer fools gladly. One
of her local successes as a board member was the delivery though SLIPs of the
Novaloo that was lobbied strongly for by the Remuera Community Committee and
local residents on Clonbern Road by the carpark.
A
minutes silence will be observed at the meeting.
