OBITUARY ALDERMAN JOSEPH HATTAM It was with great sadness and regret that we learnt two weeks ago about the death of Joe Hattam after a long illness. Joe had lived in Birtley all his life and had served the Community well and in many different ways. He had been a Parish Councillor, then a Gateshead Ward Councillor and served twice as Mayor of Gateshead. He sat on many different committees, chairing a number of them, and latterly he was one of the founder members of the Birtley Community Partnership. He did lots of things behind the scenes that would benefit the wider community in Birtley. He will be missed by everyone who knew him, and our thoughts and prayers, are with his family at this time. http://www.birtleycommunitypartnership.org.uk/ |
