Friends and colleagues at the Town Hall have paid tribute to “friendly, creative and funny” Andrew Lindup, an IT expert who was killed by a car last Thursday.

Mr Lindup, 36, who worked for Islington Council as a digital development officer, was involved in the launch of the council’s new website and had recently led on the development of a new community-focused website, IslingtonLife.

He died after being struck by a vehicle which failed to stop at the accident scene in Enfield. Police are appealing for witnesses.

Paul Savage, the council’s head of digital customer service and development, paid tribute on behalf of his colleagues: “I speak for everyone when I say that Andy was universally liked and a much-loved friend to many.

“Friendly, creative and funny, Andy was one of those people who seemed to know and get on with everyone. We will all miss him tremendously and send our heartfelt sympathy and support to his family and friends.”

A book of condolence has been opened. Messages can be sent to remembering.Andy@islington.gov.uk
