A councillor in Oldham who has tendered her resignation after just 10 months in the job is understood to have cited the cost of living crisis as one of her reasons for quitting.
Coun Sahr Abid, of Medlock Vale ward, is understood to have emailed her resignation to Oldham Chief executive Harry Catherall on Tuesday.
Ms Abid had won the seat last year, beating incumbent Labour councillor Ateeuque Ur-Rehman, whose Labour colleague Cath Ball, member for St James ward, was defeated by Tory candidate Beth Sharp.
