Another one bites the dust
"A councillor has resigned 10 days after winning a seat in the local elections because her "business commitments have expanded rapidly".
Reform UK's Danielle Cavanagh won one of three seats in the High Fell ward of Gateshead Council from Labour in the local elections on 7 May.
A statement from chair of Reform's Gateshead Central and Whickham group Lindsay Atkinson said it was not a decision "taken lightly" by Cavanagh, but the party was "very confident" of holding the seat."
