The Chair reminded all Members of their obligations under the Code of Conduct and asked that all Members address each other in the correct manner during meetings and show respect at all times.

The Chair and Council congratulated the Vice-Chair of the Council, Councillor P Jopling who had been recognised in the Kings Birthday Honours earlier in the year. Councillor Jopling had recently been presented with her Medal by the Lord Lieutenant of County Durham at a very special investiture with her family.

The British Empire Medal recognised commitment, dedication and hard work over a considerable period for Councillor Jopling’s services to Crook and the wider community in County Durham.
