Councillor Roger Jackson Remembered | Nottingham News

Nottinghamshire mourns the loss of Councillor Roger Jackson, who died at 70 after a courageous battle with cancer. A tireless public servant, he served both county and district councils, even attending a meeting virtually this week despite his illness. Elected in 2003 and 2013, he honored his father’s legacy while championing causes like raising $27,000 for a Ukrainian cultural center and securing a $26 million flood defense project. Colleagues praised his integrity, kindness, and selflessness, calling him a mentor and friend. Beyond politics, he led his family’s farming business and chaired major agricultural events. His 20+ years of unwavering service left an indelible mark on his communities. Our hearts go out to his wife Jilly and family during this profound loss.
