The Times Series reader poll on whether under fire Mayor Hugh Rayner should step down from his post has produced an overwhelming YES.
A total of 86 per cent of people voted in favour of seeing Barnet’s first citizen resign over allegations that he acted illegally towards tenants living in the properties he owns.
In contrast to the 561 people who said he should resign, just 92 people said he should not.
Cllr Rayner has been the subject of criticism this week after GLA member for Barnet Andrew Dismore revealed several instances of “unfair” behaviour during the London Assembly Question Time last week.
The Hale councillor owns 15 properties in Colindale with his wife Susan, and four more under his firm’s name – S&H Housing Limited.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson openly admitted Cllr Rayner’s behaviour has been “prima facie illegal”.
