John Fareham and John
Abbott report that a blue plaque in memory of the late Sir Leo Schultz, with
the kind permission of the new owners, was formally unveiled at no. 6 Newland
Park on Thursday 11th October at 9.30 a.m.
Whatever party
political view one took time of Sir Leo – and he was a controversial figure in
some quarters – he served the city long and faithfully and deserves recognition
such as this, however belated it may be relative to his lifespan. I am very grateful to the new owners who
agreed at my request to put it up. The
unveiling took place at 9.30 a.m. with the Lord Mayor and former colleagues of
Sir Leo amongst those invited. There was then a reception at the Goodfellowship
public house at 10 a.m. at which light refreshments were available, and any
local resident who wished to attend was also welcome to do so, either the event
or the reception or both.
