Councillor Bob Gann

It is with much regret that the death of Councillor Bob Gann is announced.

Cllr Gann was a Labour Councillor for Salisbury City Council representing St. Edmund’s Ward from May 2025 to July 2025.

The City Flag will be flown at half-mast on the Guildhall for the next week, and again on the day of the funeral, as a mark of respect.

After discussing this with his family, we can confirm that Cllr Gann took his own life after a period of severe depression.
