James Hehir

The announcement of James Hehir's sudden death is desperately sad news.  All of our thoughts must be first with his family, friends and colleagues.  I also want to say this: James did more for Ipswich than any chief executive could ever be expected to do.  Both visionary and utterly pragmatic, he loved the town and was passionate about its future.  I have only known him for a little over two years but I shall already miss his driving force, his decency and his kindness.
