Changes to the complaints procedure

 

From 8th May, 2008 the responsibility for considering complaints that Councillor may have breached the Code of Conduct for Councillors is passed to the Standards Committee of local authorities.

 

 

What this means to you

 

If you want to complain about the conduct of a member of South Staffordshire Council or a member of one of the Parish Councils in South Staffordshire, you must submit your complaint to:-

 

LIN ROBINSON

MONITORING OFFICER 

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE COUNCIL,

FREEPOST MID 21881

CODSALL,

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

WV8 1ER.

 

who will arrange for your allegation to be considered by the Standards (Assessment of Allegations) Sub-Committee in the first instance.

 

The Standards Committee can only deal with complaints about the behaviour of a member (Councillor).  It will not deal with complaints about matters that are not covered by the Members' Code of Conduct.  If you make a complaint to the Standards (Assessment of Allegations) Sub-Committee it must be about why you think a member has not followed the Code of Conduct.

 

Further details can be obtained from the Standards for England.  Please visit the Standards for England website at www.standardsforengland.gov.uk for further information.
