Allegations of blackmail, bullying, and abusive behaviour were among the 27 complaints made about councillors in Shropshire last year, a new report has revealed.
The report will be discussed at a Shropshire Council meeting next week
The report says: “Although only one complaint was referred for investigation, most involve an initial exchange with the member complained of and this often leads to an apology. He adds: “As the allegation might amount to a criminal offence, the complainant was advised to consider a referral to the police.”
A complaint was made about a councillor who failed to respond to a plea for help, and this resulted in an apology being offered and assistance provided, the report says. Mr Collard also highlights a high number of allegations that a councillor had failed to disclose pecuniary interests, or participated in a debate which relates to their disclosable pecuniary interests.
