Tribute to Her Majesty, The Queen from Epsom and Ewell Borough Council.
The Councillors and staff of Epsom & Ewell Borough
Council (EEBC) are deeply saddened at the news of the death of Her Majesty The
Queen. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family at this time.
Flags in the Borough are being flown at half-mast and books of condolence are available for
everyone to sign at the Town Hall, Bourne Hall and the Wellbeing Centre. An
online book of condolence is also available at https://www.royal.uk.
The
Mayor of EEBC, Councillor Clive Woodbridge, has said, ‘Her Majesty was no
stranger to Epsom, rarely missing a Derby. She was a much loved and respected
monarch, and I know the vast majority of the residents of this Borough will be
profoundly saddened by today’s news.
‘As
well as our sovereign, Her Majesty was also a mother, grandmother and great
grandmother; on behalf of the people of Epsom & Ewell, I extend our
sympathies to members of the Royal Family on their personal loss.’
The
Interim Chief Executive of EEBC, Jackie King, has said, ‘As Members attend to
the democratic process in the Council Chamber, they do so under a portrait of
our late monarch; a poignant reminder of duty and personal commitment.
‘I am very aware of the esteem in which Her Majesty is held by the
Council’s staff, and on their behalf, I offer our sympathies to the Royal
Family.’
