'No formal complaints' made following allegations of bullying in Market Drayton Town Council

Councillor Roy Aldcroft has today issued a statement further detailing the procedures that are in place at the Town Council should a formal complaint/s be made.

Last week, the Town Council shared a photo of a printed document featuring a statement signed by Councillor Aldcroft.

It said that over the last few weeks there have been "unsubstantiated" "vague" and "non-specific" references to bullying within the council.

Now, Councillor Aldcroft has issued a statement to clarify how Market Drayton Town Council's procedures would help.

The statement reads: "Regarding a number of recent concerns on Facebook from members of the public it would appear an attempt to clarify how Market Drayton Town Council works would help.

"There are many rules regulating the procedures and Code of Conduct of councillors. These only apply if the Code is breached while acting as a councillor.
