Zack Polanski cleared by ethics inquiry over council tax payment complaint - AOL

Zack Polanski has been cleared by an ethics inquiry into claims that he did not pay council tax while living on a houseboat in east London since 2022. The monitoring officer found the case fell outside the London Assembly's remit, and concluded there was no breach of the code.

Polanski said he did not intend to evade obligations and cited five years as a property guardian, where utilities and taxes were managed under that arrangement. He argued the unusual housing arrangement caused misunderstandings but maintained his integrity. The inquiry's outcome thus closes the matter for now.
