Replying to @MarkJSewardsSad news, Mark. I'm pleased he got to see the success of his campaigning for TV Harrison. - Replying to @MarkJSewardsI lost count of the number of conversations I had with Michael over the last four years on this issue. He was a dedicated public servant and community campaigner to the last. I’m so pleased that he and the group were able to achieve their ultimate objective and save the ground.
- Replying to @MarkJSewardsMichael served as MP for the old Leeds West constituency, which included Farnley & Wortley. More recently he was Chair of the TV Harrison Action Group, which was set up to save the historic ground in Wortley.
- I’m so sorry to see that Michael Meadowcroft has passed away. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
