Chairman - Steve Hyden

Armitage with Handsacre Parish Council.

It is with great sadness that the Parish Council reports the sudden death of its Chairman, Steve Hyden, on Thursday June 25th, at the age of 62. Steve was an extremely familiar and popular figure in and around the village and someone who felt a great affinity for the community. He was tireless in his work and demonstrated unerring dedication to so many local causes, most notably his position as Chairman of Armitage with Handsacre Parish Council, Chairman of the Village Hall Committee and Club Secretary of The Royal British Legion, where he was known to all as “Captain”.

His loyal service stretched back almost two decades and he was always willing to participate in village events, the biennial Village Day was one which he particularly enjoyed. His cheerfulness and enthusiasm for all that he did endeared him to a great many within this area, and beyond.

Our thoughts at this time are with his widow Jill, and other members of his family.
