‘Town council to pay £70k+ over defamatory statements about two councillors’ May 2021
A council statement offered the apology to Taila Taylor and Edward Tyrer “for the publishment [sic] of defamatory statements concerning false allegations of both councillors sustaining a ‘campaign of harassment, bullying and intimidation’ on fellow councillors, staff and employees of Attleborough Town Council. We accept that all such allegations were false and wrong”.
The council admitted that in February 2020 members passed an unlawful motion to remove both councillors from their positions and prevent them from being appointed as either vice-chairman or mayor for two years.
