He was Leader of the Council at the time it was ordered to buy back the Westminster Cemeteries after they were sold without proper provision for maintenance.

Weeks was deputy leader to Shirley Porter at the time of the "Homes for votes scandal" and was found jointly liable along with Porter and others to the tune of £36 million by the District Auditor, but this was reduced on appeal by the High Court.
