It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Councillor Tom Fraser, a dedicated and much-loved representative for the residents of Oldbrook. Tom served the community with passion and commitment for over 30 years, leaving behind a lasting legacy that will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
Tom recently celebrated his 90th birthday in October, a milestone he marked with the same vitality and enthusiasm that characterised his public service. Remarkably, he continued to play an active role in council matters right up to his final days. Just last week, he attended a council meeting where he shared his reflections on the recent BMKALC (Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Association of Local Councils) Annual General Meeting. Tom spoke warmly of the event, highlighting the joy he felt reconnecting with old friends and the pleasure of spending time with Countess Howe.
Throughout his long tenure with CPCC, Tom was a tireless advocate for the rights and well-being of local residents. He firmly believed in the power of community councils to act as a vital bridge between the public and higher authorities. His dedication to this cause was evident in his active participation on numerous committees, where his wisdom, experience, and unwavering commitment made a real difference.
Councillor Tom Fraser’s passing is a profound loss for the community, and his absence will be deeply felt. His legacy of compassion, integrity, and service will continue to inspire those who follow in his footsteps. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.
