If you wish to make a complaint against a councillor you can do so by completing and returning the following form.
It is important to note that not every complaint that falls within the jurisdiction of the code of conduct will be referred for investigation or other action.
Although you are not required to prove your complaint at this stage of proceedings, you do have to demonstrate that you have reasonable grounds for believing that the councillor(s) complained about has breached the code of conduct.
Your complaint will be dealt with in accordance with the Council’s arrangements for dealing with allegations that a member has failed to comply with the Code of Conduct.
The points listed below will help you decide whether this is the correct procedure for your complaint.
You should speak to the contact name listed at the end of this guidance.
Your complaint must be about conduct that occurred while the councillor(s) complained about were in office.
Conduct of an individual before they were elected, co-opted or appointed to the authority, or after they have resigned or otherwise ceased to be a councillor, cannot be considered by the Assessment Sub-Committee.
It is very important that you set your complaint out fully and clearly, and provide all the information at the outset.
You should also provide any documents or other material that you wish to be considered.
We recommend that you use our complaint form or provide a covering note summarising what you are complaining about, especially if your complaint includes a lot of supporting documentation.
In the summary you should tell us exactly what each person you are complaining about said or did that has caused you to complain.
If you are sending supporting documentation please cross-reference it against the summary of your complaint.
You should be as detailed as possible and substantiate your complaint where you can.
Although you are not required to prove your complaint at this stage of proceedings, you do have to demonstrate that you have reasonable grounds for believing that the councillor(s) complained about has breached the code of conduct.
