Summary
AI-generated from the council's decision document — not the council's own wording.
The complainants alleged that Councillor J Candy made unprofessional and inflammatory remarks at the election count on 2 May 2025, including calling Reform UK supporters “far right”. The council’s investigation concluded that the statements were protected political speech and no breach of the Code of Conduct was demonstrated, so the complaint was rejected.
