The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales launched an investigation after receiving a complaint of “bullying and harassment” at Llandudno Town Council. The Ombudsman said communitication had been sent to and about the complainant via “letter, texts, and on social media”.

The complaint was ultimately dropped by the Ombudsman when considering the “personal circumstances” of the former town council member, who was not named.

Consequently, Conwy County Council’s standard’s committee was not involved.
