Kay Burley, the long-serving former councillor and Honorary Alderwoman of Bedford Borough, has died.
Kay Burley served as both a borough and county councillor over the course of 49 years. She was also a member of Kempston Urban District Council and then Kempston Town Council.
Kay served as chair of Bedfordshire County Council from 1995-1996, Mayor of Kempston from 2005-06, and was later leader of Kempston Town Council.
She retired from frontline politics last year, and in November was honoured for decades of public service by being made an Honorary Alderwoman.
Our thoughts are with her family.
