On Mr Grotzke, current Mayor of Patchway Cllr Dayley Lawrence remarked that ‘Michael was an extremely committed member of Patchway Town Council and served his community well over 20 years. Although I did not personally know him, other members as well as people in the community had taken to his extremely committed nature and he always strived for the best for all of our residents’.
