Jim Opray

I was very saddened to learn of the death of Jim Opray, former councillor for Ancrum Ward back in the 1980s and my Conservative opponent when I was first elected to the City Council at the Tay Bridges Ward by-election in 2001.

Jim was an absolute gentleman who worked for the local community in so many ways.   In addition to being a former District Councillor, he was a board member at Tayside Recyclers and a volunteer at the University of Dundee Botanic Garden.

Jim made a real contribution to the community and will be sadly missed and long remembered.
