"I will address the elephant in the room," he said. "In the past, councillors have referred to remarks towards myself. I speak as being on both sides it - it is wrong. When you're a councillor, you see the headline and you don’t know the full story."
Coun Jones was referring to a court case in September 2022 in which he admitted to causing actual bodily harm to his wife. The hearing was told she needed stitches after the local politician threw a bag of rubbish, which contained a glass jar.
He was ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work and go on a 31-day 'Building Better Relationships' programme. Coun Jones also had to pay his wife £500 compensation.
Coun Shelley Guest said: "I am one of the statistics. I wish there was this kind of support 20-years-ago. I had 15 fab years with my partner, yet I still break down and I still blame myself. I know all violence in relationships is wrong.
"It is the women that suffer the worst violence."
Coun Mary Callaghan added: "It is not acceptable and it never will be acceptable. What I went through was quite violent and no one knows about it in this chamber.
"We need to stand up and speak about it because it will never stop if we don't."
