Since Len Brown was elected Mayor of Auckland ten days ago, he has admitted to a two-year extra-marital affair, and to providing a reference for his mistress for a job at a Council-controlled gallery. He is also alleged to have behaved inappropriately during work time, and on council premises, and to have accepted freebies from Auckland hotels to facilitate the affair. These allegations are under investigation He claims that these are private matters but they are not; they go to the heart of his integrity and judgment, and his fitness to lead Auckland. We, the undersigned call on Len Brown to stand aside as Mayor of Auckland while the investigation is conducted, and to resign if he is found to have abused his position.

The feedback I am hearing confirms that our city expects more integrity from its leadership. Contact your local council representative today to demand that they address these findings openly. We need to keep the pressure on until there is a formal response.

The momentum behind this call for accountability proves that Aucklanders expect integrity from their leadership. Contact your local representative today and demand they push for the Mayor to stand aside during this investigation.

Len Brown, cheats and liars gave no place running a city you are not trust worthy. You give men a bad name and set a poor example for your daughters current and/or future partners..........

I believe the actions of Mr Brown are not simply a matter for him and his family, but are instead a reflection of unprofessional use of Auckland ratepayers' time and money. I believe that the right thing for him to have done would have been to stand down from his position immediately after these revelations. He's no Rob Ford but he's not exactly the person we thought we were voting for either.

Len Brown is an embarrassment to the whole of Auckland and Manukau in particular. He should do the decent thing and resign.

If Len truly respects the values he espouses and honestly wants the best for Auckland and the ratepayers he will stand down now and let the Council get on with business. I am appalled that my ever escalating rates are being used to pay Len whilst he contemplates his future - it is not that hard - resign! If, Len, as you believe we all want you to stay on there will be a new petition to vote you back in !!!!
