Mansfield MP Ben Bradley was on the BBC's Politics East Midlands programme when he discussed the council's projected £20million spend on London flats
A row has broken out between Mansfield's MP and Mayor over its council's projected £20million spend on a block of London flats. The Local Democracy Reporting Service reported last year that Mansfield District Council was facing the high bill to fix fire safety problems at the flats in Clapham.
Mr Abrahams says he will be asking the BBC to speak with Ben Bradley and ask him to retract these comments. The Mansfield Mayor says the properties were not purchased whilst Labour was in control of the council which he leads. But responding to Mr Abrahams' complaint, Mr Bradley said: "It's incredibly frustrating that a Mayor who just last week was putting motions forward at his council calling for cooperation, consistently seems to prefer to write public letters calling me names rather than actually talk to me about things. He's not raised this with me at all, only written to the media about me without my knowledge.
