West London Councillor Found in Breach of Code of Conduct in Two Complaints
Independent councillor Eva Jedut, who represents the Delgarno ward in Kensington and Chelsea, has been formally found to have breached the local council's Code of Conduct in relation to two separate complaints. This clarification follows an earlier report that inaccurately described her political affiliation and the nature of the allegations.
Clarification on Political Affiliation and Allegations
Contrary to previous reporting, Ms Jedut was serving as an Independent councillor at the time of the incidents in question. The initial article, published on March 28, 2026, incorrectly stated she was a 'Right-wing Advance UK councillor' and implied allegations of sharing personal information in an email constituted a GDPR breach.
In fact, while the council's investigation concluded that Ms Jedut did breach the Code of Conduct regarding both complaints, no breach of GDPR regulations was identified. The council has emphasized that the complaints did not involve any misuse of personal data under data protection laws.
Details of the Breaches and Council Response
The specifics of the complaints have not been fully disclosed, but they relate to conduct issues that fell short of the standards expected under the council's Code. Kensington and Chelsea Council has confirmed the findings and updated the original article to reflect the accurate details.
This case highlights the importance of adherence to ethical guidelines in local governance. Councillors are expected to uphold high standards of behavior, and breaches can lead to formal sanctions or corrective actions. The council's transparency in amending the report demonstrates a commitment to accurate public information.
Residents and stakeholders in the Delgarno ward and across Kensington and Chelsea are encouraged to review the amended article for the complete and corrected information. The council maintains that such processes are vital for maintaining trust and accountability in local democracy.
