Councillor Tim Dwelly attended 88% of meetings (28/32) and holds senior committee roles including Cabinet and the Economic Prosperity Board. He has accumulated seven conduct cases, including one serious case in which he was found to have breached the Code of Conduct after posting a tweet spreading an unverified rumour about a 'Porn MP' being from Cornwall; no further action was taken after the tweet was removed and an apology issued. His 2024-25 expenses of £25,776.78 and the number of conduct cases may warrant scrutiny from residents.
