Labour urges London assembly to investigate Zack Polanski over council tax payments

Green party leader admits he may have failed to pay correct amount while living on a houseboat

Labour has urged London assembly officials to investigate the Green party leader, Zack Polanski, after he admitted that he may have failed to pay the correct council tax while living on a London houseboat.

Polanski had faced mounting questions over whether the houseboat, moored in east London, was his primary residence. A spokesperson for his party described the situation as an “unintentional mistake” and said Polanski had “immediately taken steps” to pay any tax owed.
