Councillor Peter Channon maintained perfect attendance (100%, 45/45 meetings) across a substantial workload of ten committees, including multiple planning and scrutiny bodies. However, his record is marked by three conduct cases, including one serious complaint from the Hayle Town Clerk alleging disrespectful, slanderous and bullying behaviour, which was upheld as a breach of the Code of Conduct. His 2024-25 expenses of £19,554.45 include travel costs in the top 10% of all councillors, well above the median, warranting further scrutiny alongside the conduct concerns.
