Decision:
RESOLVED:
That the number and type of complaints be noted.
Minutes:
The Monitoring Officer presented the report and provided background information. He explained that the report showed a summary of the ethical complaints alleging a breach of the Code that had been submitted to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales (PSOW). As per the Committee’s resolution, the complaints distinguished between different Councils and Councillors whilst still remaining anonymous. The report gives an understanding of the number and types of complaints being made, and the outcome of consideration by the PSOW. Since the last report dated 4 September 2023, two complaints had been received: one was not investigated and one was under investigation. Four were outstanding. The Monitoring Officer referred to Appendix A of the report which listed in summary the complaints received during 2022/2023 and 2023/2024.
The recommendation in the report was moved by Gill Murgatroyd and seconded by Councillor Andrew Parkhurst
