Salisbury City Council are sad to announce the death of Councillor Bob Gann (St Edmunds).
Cllr Gann was a Labour Councillor for Salisbury City Council representing St. Edmund’s Ward from May 2025 to July 2025.
The City Flag on the Guildhall will be flown at half-mast for the next week, and again on the day of the funeral, as a mark of respect.
After discussing this with his family, the Council confirms that Cllr Gann took his own life on Thursday after a period of severe depression.
It is understood that Cllr Gann's funeral will be in around three weeks' time.
Our thoughts are with Bob's friends and family.
