Decision:

Minutes:
The Deputy Monitoring Officer introduced the Review of the Members’ Code of Conduct report following a request at the last meeting for the Committee to see the outcome letters from the two complaints considered by the Ombudsman against County Councillors in 2017.
Councillor Woolley said the report demonstrated that the current processes and existing systems worked well.
Phillipa Earlam said she felt the letters appended to the report were not in “plain English” and complainants could find it difficult to understand the content.
RESOLVED:
That it be noted that the evidence indicates that existing systems seem to be working and that the Members’ Code of Conduct does not need revision.
