A town council has explained why it hasn’t commented on its mayor’s conviction for drink driving.

Ryan Davies, the Mayor of Clun , was driving a grey Mercedes on Rookery Lane, on the outskirts of Knighton, at the time of the incident on May 25.

A blood sample showed he had 183 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80mg per 100ml.

The 44-year-old, who lives a short distance away in Cleobury Lane, initially pleaded not guilty to driving a motor vehicle with an alcohol level above the limit, and a trial was set for November 18 at Llandrindod Wells Magistrates Court.

However, he changed his plea to guilty and was subsequently disqualfied from driving for 20 months, which can be reduced if he successfully completes a drink-drive awareness course.
