I think the final act that brought her to the decision to resign, was being approached by one of her own party who had been asked by a VFD to ask her not to stand for Mayor. She would have lost anyway due to the majority vote being held by VFD. Just shows you cannot rely on your own party for support and the sneaky ways of VFD, why didnt they speak to her directly..

I believe the £4.16 amounts to approx' £23.000
