I suggest the mayor sends a letter to the councillor demanding an apology, which in the interests of transparency copies of which should be made to the LT and AO and likewise his reply and full apology - if and when forthcoming - should be copied to the said organs.

Interesting points although to be honest I don't personally know enough about formal reprimands to make a proper comment on this. It would probably be something for the Mayor to decide and I wouldn't be inclined to try and influence her actions on this. If you as a resident find it to be a matter worth pursuing in the interests of the borough then I would not try to dissuade you from contacting the Mayor directly:
Councillors - Colette McCormack
Personally speaking, if any member wants to behave like this and expect to retain any sort of respect from the public then for my money you can carry on being ejected from the council chamber in full view of the borough's press.
It isn't something which an 'inexperienced' councillor such as myself would do.
