Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Legal and Democratic Services and Monitoring Officer which provided an update on complaints received by Durham County Council under the Code of Conduct for Members since the last meeting on 7 March 2024 (for copy of report, see file of minutes).

Councillor Atkinson referred to case number 604844404 and indicated that the apology was not satisfactory.

The Deputy Monitoring Officer indicated that they would investigate the case further and report back directly to Councillor Atkinson.

The Chair referred to the complaint that was upheld and equality and diversity training issued and a further complaint for the same person was no action and asked if the second complaint predated the training. Officers advised that in this case it was the same incident that had previously been dealt with.        

Resolved: That the contents of the report be noted.
