Newcastle developer Jeff McCloy has denied gauging support about a possible return to politics.
Ratepayers have received automated phone calls, asking who they’d vote for in September’s Lord Mayoral election – Jeff McCloy, Nuatali Nelmes or Therese Doyle.
Mr McCloy says the polling is “news to him” – but hasn’t ruled out running for his old job.
Ms Nelmes and Ms Doyle also deny being behind the calls.
