Shaftesbury Town Hall and Cllr Karen Tippins and Cllr Peter Yeo TWO Dorset town councillors who are claimed to have insulted colleagues will face a code of conduct hearing this week. Both Cllr Peter Yeo and Cllr Karen Tippins will face claims on Friday that they breached the councillors code of conduct at Shaftesbury Town Council. At a meetings last year Cllr Tippins described fellow councillor Michael Welch as ‘an idiot’ refusing to retract the remark. Shortly after she describes him as ‘thick’. In response to the jibe Cllr Yeo says “she’s got a point,” although he denies this was referring to the remark Cllr Tippins had just made.

“CHILDISH, unprofessional and wholly disrespectful” was how the behaviour of two town councillors has been described, following an investigation into complaints lodged against them. Three separate complaints about Shaftesbury town councillors Karen Tippins and Peter Yeo were the main items up for discussion during Dorset Council’s Audit and Governance Hearing Sub-Committee meeting last week. Submitted by members of the public and a fellow councillor, complaints were submitted calling for the two members to be investigated for their behaviour, following their actions during town council meetings throughout the year. Not engaging with a guest speaker and presentation, rude language and hand gestures and calling other council members names were the issues put forward to the county council to investigate.
