Andrew Gwynne MP said
I am extremely saddened to hear Councillor Martin Wareing has passed away. Although he had been very fit and active, in recent weeks he has been battling serious illness.
Martin Wareing’s service to the people of Denton spans no fewer than five decades – in the 1960s and 1970s on Denton Urban District Council, the mid 1970s serving on the then newly formed Greater Manchester Council and from 1979 to 2009 on Tameside Council where he served for many years as Deputy Leader of the Council.
Although originally from Hulme. Martin’s dedication to public service and commitment to his adopted town meant that he could rightly hold with pride the title ‘Mr Denton’.
Recent achievements of his include the new civic square and the redevelopment of the sporting facilities on Stockport Road Playing Fields, which were re-named in Martin’s honour to Martin Fields.
Martin was closely associated with Denton Labour Club since the 1950s, serving for many years as a club director and as a school governor at both Egerton Park High School and Russell Scott Primary School.
It is undisputed that Martin Wareing’s mark has been left on the town for the future and he will be greatly missed by all his friends and comrades in the Denton and Reddish Labour Party.”
