A town councillor used discriminatory language against two other elected members outside a children's park and swore at one of them, a standards committee has concluded. It will now decide whether the actions of Llanelli town councillor Terry Davies amounted to a breach of the code of conduct.
The Public Ombudsman Service for Wales investigated the incident outside the park in Tyisha, Llanelli, on February 9, 2021, and concluded that Cllr Davies may have breached the code. It then referred the matter to Carmarthenshire Council's standards committee.
The ombudsman's report said Cllrs Andre McPherson and Suzy Curry had gone to the new park to discuss snagging issues with the contractor and the deputy town council clerk. The contractor said he was approached by quite an agitated and blunt man who questioned the quality of the surfacing in the park. This person was Cllr Davies.
