Councillor King Lawal said he "had not intended to cause harassment, alarm or distress" with his Pride tweetA Conservative councillor who was suspended after tweeting that "Pride is not a virtue but a Sin" has been reinstated to the local party.
At a full council meeting on Thursday, Conservative leader Jason Smithers invited Mr Lawal to speak, saying "the complaint process is now complete". They said his statement on Thursday "did not go far enough to address the hurt", adding: "Councillor Lawal has been given the Conservative whip back and we don't believe he expressed any apology in his statement."
He added: "As a councillor, I act equally for the residents of the areas in which I am elected in all areas of debate and discussion."
