Good job, Ian

WE would like to pay tribute to Ian Lowrie, who has announced his retirement as chief executive of Worthing and Adur councils.

Having got to know him well over the past six years, he has always put the interests of the community first, spending countless hours fighting the towns’ corners in political and economic forums and did a great deal to restore pride to the office after the debacle of the previous three years.

His commitment to the Worthing children’s parade, which he supported from the very beginning, has been exemplary, extending even to taking first-class photography during the event and passing it on to us, unasked.

From a business, community and personal perspective, he will be sorely missed. We wish him well for the future.
