That the Committee notes the number and type of complaints.
Additional documents:
Decision:
That the number and type of complaints be noted.
Minutes:
The Monitoring Officer presented the regular report on the number of ethical complaints alleging a breach of the Code of Conduct which had been submitted to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales (PSOW). The information was anonymised with references assigned to differentiate between individual Councils and Councillors.
The Monitoring Officer provided clarification on points raised by the Committee. In response to comments about chairing meetings, he agreed to contact the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) to enquire about the possibility of a training session or video to assist Chairs of Town/Community Councils in maintaining conduct during meetings which may help to reduce the number of complaints.
The recommendation in the report was moved by Gill Murgatroyd and seconded by Councillor Gladys Healey.
RESOLVED:
That the number and type of complaints be noted.
