The minutes from that meeting only became available this week. In them, Cllr Graham repeated the contents of a letter circulated among Trustees, where he demanded the mayor step down and the deputy mayor take his place. This was largely due to Cllr Hussain wearing his mayoral chain on several occasions without permission. One occasion saw the mayor appear in a film in which local man Carlos Layne alleged he was the target of “racism” by the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) 15 years ago. At the time Cllr Hussain denied knowledge of what the recording would be used for. While Cllr Tony Green felt this was a “serious matter”, Thames Valley Police (TVP) later said Cllr Hussain s appearance in the film had not brought the relationship between the Trustees and the police into disrepute .
