The Mayor is Labour and all but 2 Councillors are also Labour. There may be another reason that the Councillor does not want to be named and that could be that he is connected to the trade and as such is not permitted to say or do anything directly because he has a pecuniary financial interest.
They can say anything, and are voted in to say anything.
If they are on a committee then they can say that and excuse themselves.
If they are not permitted to say something, either by statute or by local rules, and they do, then they are either morally or legally corrupt.
I think that Councillor is a coward, and in that case should stay quiet or quit.
Unfortunately If a Councillor has a pecuniary financial interest they can't even be in the room when issues that affect them are discussed. saying anything is not a council matter it is a police matter.
