A number of councillors who wanted to stand again in Glasgow City Council failed to get re-elected as the Tories and SNP lost seats on Friday.
The Conservative’s Euan Blockley was voted out in the Linn ward as Labour made a gain with newly elected Catherine Vallis. His party colleague Robert Connelly who had also been a councillor since 2017 was knocked out of the running in Calton.
After the result, he said: “It has been an honour and a privilege to represent Calton ward residents over the past five years in Glasgow City Council. Congratulations to the members that were elected to represent the ward for the next five years.”
