The council's standards sub-committee found cllr Mahboob Hussain had breached the code of conduct 12 times.

He was accused of the 'improper involvement' in the sale of three public toilets well below their market value in 2011-12.

He was also accused of instructing officers to reduce or cancel three parking tickets for his wife and sons.
