    Helen Maguire MP Visits 3 Church Road

  • Heather Ward

    We at LeatherHead Start were very sorry to hear that Heather Ward died last Sunday. She was the Chair/Committee Member of Leatherhead Night Hostel for 16 years resigning in 2002 to fulfil her duties as the Chair of Mole Valley Council.

    We knew that Heather was also very involved in the wider Leatherhead community but remember, with affection, her dedication to always wanting the very best for our clients and would do whatever was needed to achieve that for them.
