Cllr McQuillan is stepping down from his position as he is moving out of North Somerset. He has served as a North Somerset councillor since his election in May 2019 and re-election in May 2023.
Cllr McQuillan said: "It has been a privilege to represent the residents of Long Ashton, Leigh Woods, Wraxall and Failand on North Somerset Council since 2019 when I was first elected. However, as my family and I will shortly be leaving North Somerset, I have taken the difficult decision to resign from the council.
"I am grateful to all the residents that have supported me, given me feedback and helped me over the years. I also want to thank all the officers who have helped me solve problems and help residents. Finally, I am proud to have been part of a cross-party administration and to have worked with members from all parties and none to deliver for the communities of North Somerset."
The resignation has come into immediate effect, and until the election of a new councillor, fellow ward councillor for Long Ashton, Cllr Ash Cartman, will handle all councillor matters for the ward. Any issues can also be raised online at: n-somerset.gov.uk/do-it-online.
