  • Barry Arnold Payton (born 1928) was a barrister and Labour Party politician. Educated at Quinton School and the University College of the South West of England, he was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1951. He worked as Town Clerk of Andover, Hampshire and Prosecuting Assistant to the Bradford City Police. He became involved in Labour Party politics, and at the 1955 general election he unsuccessfully contested the Yorkshire parliamentary seat of Pudsey. In 1950 he was living in Edgware, and in 1951 married Lilian Kirsh in Ilford. They later lived in South Kensington and by 1963 in Stoke Newington. From 1958 he sat as a member of the London County Council representing Stoke Neewington and Hackney North until the county council's abolition in 1965. He moved to the City of Peterbrough in 1962. Peterborough had been designated as an "expanded town" under the London County Council's plan to relieve "overspill". In 1963 Payton was elected to Peterborough City Council, and in 1965 became chairman of the city's Planning Committee. Following the publication of a controversial article in The Daily Sketch, Payton did not seek re-election to the council in 1966. He eventually won damages for libel against the newspaper in May 1967. In March 1968 he was appointed Chief Executive and Town Clerk of the London Borough of Wandsworth, a newly-created position as part of a "stream lining" of the council's administration. Almost immediately after his appointment Wandsworth Council changed from Labour to Conservative Party control. He was forced to resign in controversial circumstances in May 1969. He continued to practice as a barrister until 2000. He appears in a film clip here [1]
