Council denies claim it 'blocks or monitors' councillors' emails

A NORTH Wales council has completely denied claims it 'blocks or monitors' email traffic between councillors.

It comes after Old Colwyn councillor David Carr officially complained to Conwy County Council alleging his emails to other members were blocked by council officers.

Cllr David Carr submitted his complaint after insisting that the council's democratic services department intercepted emails he sent to other members.

The matter relates to Cllr Carr using an 'email all' councillor mailing list the council says is not to be used for political posts, rather than inputting every councillor name individually or creating his own mailing list.
