Cllr Terry Evans, of Chirk, came under fire for his comments about homeless people
A SENIOR councillor has been "reminded of his responsibilities" after a complaint was raised over comments he made during a debate on homelessness.
Cllr Terry Evans, who sits on Wrexham Council's ruling executive board, came under fire earlier this month after he appeared to criticise people in receipt of Housing Benefit.
During a meeting of the council's homes and environment scrutiny committee, the local authority's lead member for economy said: “Good people pay their rent, these sort of people have their rent paid for them.”
His remarks came after he raised objections to having homeless people with addiction issues housed in council properties in his community of Chirk, while some local residents face long waits for social housing.
