The general public has difficulty getting its head round the fact that political opponents can get along and even be friends. Janice Dudley was one of those people I was happy to cooperate with at a community council level and even occasionally on the county borough council, even though I could not subscribe to Plaid Cymru's ideology. We might even have been friends but a frostiness developed after I stood in Bryncoch South in this year's local elections, although I was never after her place on the council which was clearly impregnable, but the second place previously held by a Labour man.
Her sudden death which came in what should have been the year crowning her political career is a tragedy. My heart goes out to her family and her many friends and colleagues.
