A Green Party spokesperson has said that Cllr Simon Lee has resigned from the party.

The spokesperson said "Cllr Simon Lee was elected as a Green Party Councillor in Castlereagh South district electoral area in 2019, when the people of Castlereagh South made history and voted for their first Green Party representative. Unfortunately, Simon has taken the decision to resign from the party on Wednesday 3rd August. It is unfortunate that Simon has not spoken to the party to date and we now know he has moved to another party."

The Party wishes to thank Simon for his work and wish him the best for the future.
