Pembrokeshire County Councillor Jacob Williams at Thursday\ s (April 22) corporate overview and scrutiny committee Reference to social media attacks by elected members about officers is “fake news” a councillor has said in response to a corporate peer challenge report discussed this week. Last year’s corporate peer challenge included reference to overview and scrutiny functions with the corporate committee singled out and in response to further evidence as to why a member seminar was arranged by the Local Government Association peer team. In a report to the seminar, discussed at Thursday’s (April 22) committee Cllr Jacob Williams said that reference to “the way in which social media is being used by a small number of elected members, involving personalised attacks targeting council officers, is entirely inappropriate” was not backed up by examples or evidence.
