Readers have shared their views after a councillor said he felt a new social media policy was an attempt to gag certain members. Edwin Dinsdale, who represents Corkickle South on Whitehaven Town Council, made the comments during a meeting on Thursday. The policy bans councillors from “engaging in online fights and personal attacks”, as well as “posting controversial or inflammatory remarks”. Mr Dinsdale said he was strongly against the policy being introduced. Here’s what readers had to say about the news. Stephen Bates said: “Good. The behaviour of some of the councillors on social media has been very poor. Not the behaviour expected of a public servant.”
