Leader and Mayor pay tribute to Cllr Mus Tary
 

As you are aware, Cllr Mus Tary sadly passed away on 8 June. He was a councillor for Reigate & Banstead Borough Council from 2021 to present. We know this will be a very difficult time for many of you.

 

Paying tribute to Cllr Mus Tary, the Leader said “We are extremely saddened by the passing of Cllr Mus Tary. We know the loss will be deeply felt across this Council and our community. As councillor for Hooley, Merstham and Netherne, he was an incredibly positive, friendly and approachable man.  He was committed to his role as Executive Member for Housing & Support, championing schemes to help residents access affordable housing. Mus was interested in people and community, passionate about his football and a powerful advocate for the improvements to Merstham Recreation Ground.

 

“We hold Mus’s wife Claire, his family and friends in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time – as well as all those people who had the privilege of working with him.”

 

Mayor of Reigate & Banstead, Cllr Nick Harrison continued: “Mus was a lovely man who made a great contribution to the Council and its residents in a short period of time. He was dedicated to his portfolio of Housing & Support, which was so important as we dealt with the aftermath of the covid pandemic. He will be sadly missed by colleagues and staff.”

 

The Borough flag at the Town Hall Reigate will be flown at half-mast today to honour his memory with gratitude and respect.
