(a)       That with the addition suggested by Councillor Peers, the revised Members’ Code of Conduct as shown in Appendix 1 be approved; and

(b)       That the Council complies with the requirements of Section 51 of the Local Government Act 2000

The Democracy and Governance Manager introduced a report which sought approval for minor revisions to the Members’ Code of Conduct recommended by the Council’s Constitution Committee.  He provided background information and advised that the proposed changes to update or clarify the existing wording to the Code of Conduct were shown as tracked changes in the appendix to the report for Members’ consideration.

Councillor Mike Peers suggested that the date on the title page of the Members’ Code of Conduct should be amended to reflect that the document had been updated from 25 November 2014. 

RESOLVED:

(a)       That with the addition suggested by Councillor Peers, the revised Members’ Code of Conduct as shown in Appendix 1 be approved; and

(b)       That the Council complies with the requirements of Section 51 of the Local Government Act 2000
