He was a Councillor for a year or so, about 12 years ago. He stood as an Independent, and single handedly held the balance of power between Labour and the Conservatives, in the days when the Mayoralty was earned, not given as a political sweetener. So he was never made Mayor.
I remember he was red hot on traffic issues, and always spoke out against road humps and "sleeping policemen".
