A NORTH Wales councillor, accused of falling asleep during a council meeting, insisted she had closed her eyes to "rest them".

Towyn councillor Bernice McLoughlin was seen closing her eyes and tilting her head back during a Conwy County Council education and skills overview and scrutiny committee meeting last week.

The webcast footage of the meeting in Coed Pella, Colwyn Bay, last Tuesday was posted on an anonymous social media account.
