Bryan Pottinger - A clarification

An article headlined, ‘Councillor probed over teen cleaner ‘wrist skills’ jibe’ published on June 9, 2024, we stated that Cllr Bryan Pottinger was alleged to have made sexual comments to a teenage cleaner.

We are happy to clarify that the cleaner is in her 20s. Further to this, we also quoted a source who stated that Cllr Pottinger has tried to access Council premises despite being banned.

We have been asked to clarify that the Councillor has not, in fact, attempted to enter the premises pending the current investigation. We are happy to set the record straight.

This correction has been re-published following an upheld ruling by the Independent Press Standards Organisation.
