The Ham&High is out now.

Our lead story is about Camden Council taking one of its own members to court.

Primrose Hill Cllr Jonny Bucknell is accused of failing to carry out improvement works to a house he lets out.

He appeared at a brief hearing at Highbury Magistates Court last week.

He will appear again on January 14 to submit a plea.

Mr Bucknell pointed out that the tenant was in temporary accommodation at the time.
