Noel Lynch, member of the London Assembly from May 2003 to June 2004 has sadly died.
Green Party London Assembly Members Caroline Russell, Sian Berry and Zack Polanski said:
We are sorry to hear the sad news today of the death of Noel Lynch, who was the fourth Green elected to the London Assembly. Standing on the list for the London Assembly sometimes means jumping into the breach at short notice some time after an election. Noel stepped up to represent Londoners in 2003, taking a full part in the work of the London Assembly until the May 2004 election.
In just one year he was able to publish four reports – covering local shops, plastic bags, the decline of public toilets and the need for green space. All of these were topics where his focus was ahead of the agenda and, indeed we continue working on these topics even now. His work behind the scenes since he was an Assembly Member has been invaluable, and he was a friendly face for many people new to green politics. He will be much missed.
