Overview
- Polanski, who acknowledged on Thursday he did not vote in the local elections, had earlier suggested he used a postal ballot before his party called that a miscommunication.
- The Greens say he faced antisemitic and homophobic abuse and was moving home, and he is now seeking anonymous voter registration with police and council support.
- Waltham Forest Council says it is making assessments and taking legal advice to decide if council tax is owed for the Springfield Marina moorings.
- The Lee Valley Authority says the marina issues non-residential leisure moorings that bar permanent living and voter registration at the waterside address used by some boaters, including Polanski.
- Tax calculations cited by experts point to about £4,300 over three years in Band A plus a possible £70 penalty if the boat was his main home, and Polanski has pledged to pay any amount found to be due.
