This Committee promotes and
maintains high standards of conduct by District Councillors, Town
and Parish Councillors and Co-Opted Councillors across the Arun
District by encouraging them to observe the Members’ Code of
Conduct. Membership of the Committee
consists of 9 Members of Arun District Council and 3 independent
persons.
Since 8 May 2008, the Standards
Committee has been responsible for considering any complaints made
that a Councillor may have breached the Members’ Code of
Conduct. A Local Assessment Panel
comprising members of the Committee and an independent person will
consider complaints requiring assessment.
All Councillors, whether they
represent Arun District Council or a Town/Parish Council within the
Arun District, have to abide by a Code of Conduct. If you believe that a Councillor has fallen
short of the standards of conduct expected by the Code they signed
up to, you can make a complaint to the Arun District
Council’s Monitoring Officer.
