Tributes paid to ‘extraordinary’ Holocaust survivor who served his community for 40 years
Tributes have been paid to an ‘extraordinary’ Holocaust survivor who served as a councillor for 40 years, following his death at the age of 87. Paul Porgess was first elected to Stockport council in 1978, winning the old Cheadle East seat in a shock by-election result. He was one of the first Liberal councillors to represent the Cheadle area and would continue to do so for the next four decades.
