SOUTH Gloucestershire councillor Sandie Davis has stepped down from her role.
Cllr Davis had represented New Cheltenham ward, which includes the Siston Hill estate near Mangotsfield, since 2019.
A foster carer, Cllr Davis is also a governor at Soundwell Academy and Warmley Park School, and a trustee of charity Incredible Kids, which runs a play centre for children with additional needs and disabilities.
At the council elections in May last year she was re-elected to represent the two-seat council ward, increasing her margin of victory from 45 to 243 votes over the third-placed Conservative candidate.
Cllr Davis’s resignation led to a by-election in the ward, which was taking place on May 2 – the only election in South Gloucestershire aside from the poll for the Avon & Somerset Police & Crime Commissioner.
