Doyle said: “I will not be resigning. I continue to fulfill councillor duties outside of attending council meetings.
“My priority is to be embedded in the local community. I am disappointed with Liverpool City Council for various reasons. I have little faith in the democracy or illusion of democracy that plays out in the town hall.”
Hayden said: “I will not be resigning. I am active in my local community. I was out campaigning this weekend in fact. I do not post on social media due to its corrosive nature. I just don’t live my life online like Richard Kemp.”
Kemp, who was elected in 1973, is the longest-serving councillor in Liverpool.
He said members who did not attend many meetings were letting down those they had been elected to represent.
He said: “We all get tarred with the same brush ‘you’re all in it for yourselves, you do it for the money’. Well that’s not true”.
He added: “I have a responsibility to look at standards and probity and try and get the Labour Party to do something about this situation.”
Kemp said he had combed council attendance records to support his claims that the councillors in question had only attended a handful of meetings.
He said he had not seen them feature in Labour or council social media accounts, or their own public social media accounts.
