A council today banned staff and elected members from using the social networking website Twitter after complaints that abusive and inappropriate language were being used.

Plymouth City Council staff trying to access the site are now directed to the authority's home page.

The move came after the council received a number of complaints about content on the site, including the city's Labour group leader Tudor Evans, who was warned he could face disciplinary action for using insulting language about a BNP member and calling him a "Nazi".
