A well known figure in the community has not died - despite the rumours that are circulating.
Janet Bookless, of Trinity Road, Halstead, was horrified to hear from several different people that her friend and close neighbour Muriel Constable, 95, had died.
Janet, who is listed as Muriel’s next of kin, has since seen her close friend and said she is “still live and kicking”.
