DISGRACED Kensington and Chelsea Council leader Nicholas Paget-Brown quit yesterday amid growing criticism of his poor handling of the Grenfell Tower fire.
The council chief announced his resignation following widespread condemnation of his decision to draw a public meeting on Thursday night to an abrupt halt.
Mr Paget-Brown had quickly terminated the meeting of senior councillors after giving a brief statement claiming that the presence of journalists would “prejudice” the forthcoming inquiry into the blaze.
