Tribute is paid this week to Robert ‘Bob’ Goodall of Kniveton, who died last week at the age of 92. A staunch opponent of British membership of the European Union, Mr Goodall unsuccessfully fought seven parliamentary elections on behalf of his own English Resurgance Party. He also contested the Brassington and Parwich ward of what was then the West Derbyshire District Council.
