Alison Macdonald, from Louth, tragically died at the age of 49 last month, leaving behind two teenage sons.

Coun Makinson-Sanders, who represents St Mary’s ward in Louth, told fellow councillors: “(Alison) headed up economic development for quite a number of years, she was behind all the Wolds tourism strategy, and she started up the Rosebud scheme for grading our holiday properties.

“At the age of 49, it’s a tragic loss. Please remember Alison in your prayers.”

Coun Fiona Martin, who represents the Horncastle ward, echoed Coun Makinson-Sanders’ comments, referring to Alison as a ‘very valued member of staff’.
