Swearing councillor forced to apologisepublished at 12:51 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2018
Ben Weisz
Political reporter, BBC SussexA former Tory councillor on Lewes District Council has been forced to apologise for behaving in a disrespectful and intimidating way.
In September at a meeting of Telscombe Town Council it was claimed Councillor David Neave had used obscene language towards the Conservative leader Andy Smith in an email.
Mr Neave resigned from the party and joined the Independents, creating a hung council at Lewes.
At a meeting of the standards panel Mr Neave accepted his comments were inappropriate.
His punishment is to write a letter apologising, and if he feels angry in a future council meeting, he should give himself time out until he has calmed down.
It is worth noting the district council does not have powers to ask for anything tougher than that letter.
