Councillor Maggie Barradell

**Ms Barradell was elected** as a first time Councillor in East Brighton ward at the local elections in 2015.

**Cllr Barradell said:** “I feel really sad to be leaving the city but I know it is the right thing to do. My father died before Christmas and I need to return to Suffolk to look after my mum.

I leave with many fond memories and have been privileged to be a part of some really exciting plans to move the city forward. We will of course be back as holidaymakers as we were before we moved here.”

**Leader of the Labour and Co-operative Group Councillor Warren Morgan said:** *“We will be very sorry to lose Maggie. Her contribution to the ward, to the Labour & Co-operative Group and to the city council has been immense even in a relatively short period. However family must come first, and I wish Maggie all the very best for the future.”*

A by-election to replace Cllr Barradell will be called shortly to elect a new councillor for East Brighton.
