The Ombudsman received a complaint that a member (“the Member”) of Neath Port Talbot Council (“the Council”) had breached the Code of Conduct. It was alleged that the Member was arrested by the Police on suspicion of driving his car whilst being under the influence of alcohol.
We referred our report on our investigation to the Deputy Monitoring Officer of the Council for consideration by the local Standards Committee.
This summary will be updated following the Standards Committee’s decision.
