A councillor who died suddenly has been described by colleagues as “Mr Mansfield ” as politicians in the town met for the first time since his passing.
Councillor Brian Lohan died on Christmas Eve at the age of 61. He had represented the Portland ward on Mansfield District Council for Labour since February 2010.
During his time on the council, he served as its vice-chairman in 2011 before being elected as the chairman in 2012.
