Former Attard PN Mayor, Norbert Pace has passed away aged 45 after a short illness. He had resigned his post last June after 11 years leading the council.

Pace had called it a day from the mayorship,after claiming he was the victim of "envy" and "pretensions to the post" by fellow councillors.
In a letter sent to Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, Pace said he was stepping down as mayor of the PN stronghold and also resigning as a member of the PN, the party he has been active in since his teens.
“Due to unfortunate circumstances, and no respect shown from the party for all I have done throughout all these years, I am resigning from my post as Mayor and as a party member,” Norbert Pace told the Prime Minister in his letter.
