Would Harrow deputy mayor behaviour improve when mayor?

Civic responsibility like the mayor or deputy mayor of a borough is a respectable role to be carried out in a dignified manner, like the deputy only has a civic and legal status in the absence of the Mayor.
But in Harrow, after the council meeting on 23^rd October 2024, the leader of the opposition Cllr David Perry reported that “following the meeting, I received verbal complaints from three past Mayors of Harrow who raised the disrespectful and inappropriate behaviour of the Deputy Mayor during proceedings by heckling and banging the Mayor’s gavel on the bench”.

“I hope the Deputy Mayor will reflect on this behaviour and ensure in future the position she holds is held to the highest standards in public meetings” Cllr Perry said.
The Local Government Association Model Member Code of Conduct published by the Local Government Association in May 2020, says that the code requires a councillor to “treating other councillors and members of the public with civility” – civility, the LGA defines as the politeness and courtesy in behaviour, speech, and in the written word.
Within the scope of the code, Harrow Monitoring Group reported Harrow deputy mayor Cllr Anjana Patel’s incivility at the council meeting on 23rd October 2024, to the council [see short video clip of her heckling, banging the Mayor’s gavel on the bench, and harshly directing words as well as a finger towards a councillor].
It looks the ruling Conservative group on the Harrow council has taken a notice of all this and has only narrowly selected Cllr Anjana Patel as their mayoral candidate to be ratified at the council meeting in May 2025 along with the challenger for the office who will now be the deputy mayor, as the Conservative have a majority vote at the council. But in public, they would of course ritualistically support her at the mayor-making in May.
