Legal challenge to Olympic missile sites. Who was Fred Wigg?

Council tenants will go to court over the plans to turn the roof of Fred Wigg Tower into a missile launcher. They say they were not consulted properly. The British government has a history of not consulting interested parties properly. When Britain occupied and then ruled India, large parts of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East there had been no public consultation with the occupants of the these countries. There had been no public hearing whereby plans had been put on display at the local council offices and opinions of the local ‘stakeholders’ had been canvassed. There were no twee models showing the intended forts etc. 

Under their tenancy agreements, the tenants of the tower, themselves, would not be able to put their own personal missile launchers on the roof without permission from the borough. Any missile launchers erected on the roof without written authorisation from the council would have to be removed. 
But, who was Fred Wigg?
