We are deeply saddened to hear about the death of our friend Chris Cooke following a fire in Essex Place. As a dedicated local campaigner, he focussed on LGBT and community issues, which were close to his heart. Chris stood as a local council candidate in 2011 and he was always a great support for the three of us.
Community activist Chris Cooke has died following a fire at Essex Place in Kemptown last night, February 21. Chris, a community activist was a very decent man. He was also gentle, sensitive, and genuine. He loved nothing better than seeing a practical and positive improvement to St James’ Street and Kemptown especially if he had fought long and hard on behalf of others who had decided something was needed.
