Councillor Tim Dwelly maintained solid attendance (86%, 32/37 meetings) across a demanding committee workload including Cabinet, Cornwall Council, and the Growth Board. However, his record includes 7 conduct cases, notably one serious upheld complaint concerning a 2022 tweet spreading an unverified rumour, which breached the Code of Conduct though no further action was taken following removal and apology. His 2024-25 expenses of £25,776.78 and the volume of conduct complaints warrant continued monitoring.
Councillor
Has a code of conduct complaint [serious]: The complainants alleged that Councillor Tim Dwelly breached the Code of Conduct by posting a tweet on 29 April 2022 that spread an unverified rumor about a 'Porn MP' being from Cornwall, causing reputational damage and anxiety. The assessment found a breach of the Code, but because the tweet was removed and an apology issued promptly, no further action was deemed necessary.
