Middlesbrough mayor faces pressure to resign amid misconduct allegations
Middlesbrough Council mayor Andy Preston (Ind) is facing a vote of no confidence if he does not stand down, after his deputy and four councillors on the executive resigned over what they described as his “consistent poor conduct”.
