YORK Outer MP Julian Sturdy has called for City of York Council leader Keith Aspden to resign – following a damning report into the handling of a £400,000 payout to the former council chief executive. And Labour York Central MP Rachael Maskell called the episode a scandal and shared Labour councillors calls for Cllr Aspden to step down. But the Liberal Democrats, who lead the council in coalition with the Green Party, say “opposition groups continue to misrepresent an HR issue and use it for political gain, which we view to be highly inappropriate”. Mr Sturdy tweeted: “I completely agree with the [York Conservative] councillors that York deserves better and Keith Aspden should stand down to draw a line under this sad affair.
