Aged 78, he has died just over a fortnight after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Mr Gillies had been a Conservative councillor for Rural West York, for 12 years when he retired in 2019, twice serving as Conservative group leader, and also as City of York Council leader. A funeral service is set to be held on Friday, December 27 at 11.30am at All Saints’ Church in North Street in York city centre.
