Former Lochee councillor and leader of the administration on Dundee City Council, Jill Shimi, said, “I am very saddened he has resigned from the Labour group.
“John has been an active trade unionist and has worked hard at promoting Dundee, building schools, regenerating the city and improving housing. He has also campaigned vigorously against independence.
“It is important every single member of the council continues to work really hard for the city. I hope John Letford will continue to do that.”
