A COUNCILLOR who said disabled children “should be put down” has apologised but refused to resign, claiming he “did nothing wrong”.

Collin Brewer, an independent Cornwall councillor, made the remarks at an equalities event at County Hall.

The veteran councillor was talking to Theresa Court, advice services manager with Disability Cornwall, in October 2011, when his comments caused her to make a formal complaint against him.

That complaint has only recently been resolved.
