The only Liberal Democrat councillor for Salford Quays has quit with immediate effect. Alex Warren, 31, has resigned the seat he has held for 19 months to take up a role as a political assistant to Watford Borough Council mayor Peter Taylor.
Former Coun Warren told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) that to continue as a Salford councillor would have been illegal after taking on a ‘non-political’ role.
He has left his home in Salford Quays and is relocating to Watford. It is unclear whether his resignation will spark a local council by-election, with the possibility it could be held in May 2024 during the next local elections cycle.
Mr Warren was the only Lib Dem representative on the city council following the furore over former colleague Chris Twells’ election to an authority in the Cotswolds more than 100 miles away in the May local elections.
