Search the Public Notice PortalCONTROVERSY arose at a town council meeting after councillors narrowly voted to halt discussion over the membership of a key committee.
Councillor Clive Hooper proposed raising concerns about who could be a member of the audit and scrutiny committee during the Malvern Full Town Council meeting.
However, mayor Iain Dawson tabled a motion to move on to the next agenda item without any further discussion about potential changes to the committee.
He said: "This is a normal procedural motion to move onto the next item. You can raise the issue again at the next meeting, but I will propose the same thing."
This was met with disgruntlement and looks of bafflement among councillors opposing the motion.
Mayor Dawson's proposal passed by eight votes to seven.
The narrow decision brought the discussion to an end, despite clear disagreement among councillors over whether the issue should be debated further.
