HEARTFELT tributes have been paid to a much-loved former councillor and disability campaigner who has sadly passed away at the age of 62.
Jim MacLeod - a Port Glasgow community stalwart - lost his brave battle with a severe respiratory illness on Sunday.
Jim was educated at Trefoil Boarding School for physically disabled children, run by the Girl Guides Association in Edinburgh because at that time there was no disabled access at mainstream schools in Inverclyde. “Jim’s energy, drive and experience helped us become an excellent campaigning branch and I was so delighted and proud when Jim was elected as a councillor in 2007.
He said:"I was trying to remember how long I had known Jim and Sylvia, because it is always Jim and Sylvia. They were a partnership forged in adversity. They were each other's rock.
