Tributes have been paid to the 'irreplaceable' former Mayor of Sefton who has died at the age of 87.
Tommy Mann served as Cllr of Cambridge Ward in Southport for 12 years and served as Mayor of Sefton in 2006. His devotion to the role led to him winning the ‘Mayor of the Year’ award from The Co-Operative Bank in 2007.
Tommy moved to Southport in 1960 along with his family to take over the lease on Marine Lake along with his father Tommy Snr. He is remembered for turning Marine Lake into one of Southport's major leisure attractions.
