To receive the Annual Report of the Councillor Conduct Committee 2020/21.

Jeremy Chambers, Director of Law and Governance presented the Councillor Conduct Committee Annual Report. The following key points were highlighted:

·         The Committee is required to produce a report annually highlighting work completed throughout the year.

·         The report contains a similar amount of detail as other borough’s Annual Report.

·         It is important to be cautious of the level of detail provided in the report  for reasons such as many complaints once they are investigated are closed.

·         It was important the Annual Report was not used a “naming and shaming” document.

The Committee agreed the Councillor Conduct Committee Annual Report and noted it would go to Council on 22 September 2021.
