Code of Conduct Update

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services which provided the Committee with an update on activity since the last meeting in respect of complaints received by Durham County Council against Councillors (for copy see file of Minutes).

 

The Governance Solicitor advised that as requested at the last meeting of the Committee further detail regarding the outcome of complaints had been included in Appendix 2 of the report. Going forward it was proposed that Decision Notices, which were available for public inspection, would be published on the Council’s website.

 

Members were informed of training provided in the period in response to specific complaints. The Monitoring Officer had also offered training to Parish and Town Councils where queries/issues had been raised but no formal complaints had been received.  Two such sessions were being arranged for early 2019.

 

Resolved:

 

That the contents of the report be noted.
