Ferguson was the The Lead Member for Workforce and Industrial Relations on the council
The North West Labour Party added:
“He was a very highly regarded member of the NW Labour Party Regional Board. He had a huge intellect, a sense of fairness and justice and was a thoroughly decent man. He will be missed by us all.”
