“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.
