Workers have joined local residents to say a final farewell to a Burntwood businessman.

The funeral of Noel Sweeney was held today (29th April).

He had been a key figure with local companies Chasetown Civil Engineering and Cameron Homes.

Staff from both companies respected social distancing guidelines to form a guard of honour along Chasetown High Street as the funeral cortege passed by.

Other residents, including Cllr Darren Ennis also joined the tribute to the local businessman.
