Councillor Tim Dwelly maintains good attendance at 86% across multiple high-level committees including Cabinet and economic boards, though he carries significant conduct concerns with 7 cases including one serious breach. The serious case involved posting an unverified rumor about a 'Porn MP' from Cornwall on social media, which was found to breach the Code of Conduct but required no further action after prompt removal and apology. His expenses of £25,776.78 are notably high for the current financial year.
