A Salford councillor who sparked controversy and calls for his resignation after winning a seat 160 miles away in the Cotswolds has finally revealed when he will give up his seat on the city council - nine months after winning the seat and moving to the wealthy Tetbury with Upton constituency in Gloucestershire.
