CITY of York Council leader Keith Aspden faced calls for a vote of no confidence at an extraordinary council meeting tonight (Tuesday). And a former chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life also posed questions about accountability and leadership at the council. The meeting was called to discuss a damning public interest report by independent auditors into the council s handling of a £404,000 payout to the former chief executive. York Labour councillors planned to propose a vote of no confidence in the leader of the council, which would only be permitted if councillors agreed to suspend normal procedural rules. A leaflet shared by York Conservatives said Liberal Democrat Cllr Aspden would face a vote of no confidence and called for him to step down ahead of the meeting.
