Commissioners appointed |

The Government has announced that Commissioners are to be appointed for Nottingham City Council.  For further information, the council’s response and FAQs can be read here.

All Nottingham City Councillors are required to abide by the Council’s Code of Conduct for Councillors and Co-opted Members in part six of the Council’s Constitution.

If you believe a Councillor has breached the Code of Conduct you can complain to the Council’s Monitoring Officer.

Before you Start

The following types of complaint will not be considered under this procedure:

  1. Complaints which do not relate to a current Councillor or voting Co-optee
  2. Complaints which relate to a decision of an employee or a Committee
  3. Complaints which relate to alleged incidents which took place before a person became a Councillor or voting Co-optee
  4. Complaints which refer to alleged incidents which happened so long ago that there would be little benefit in taking action now
  5. Complaints which do not identify the Councillor or voting Co- optee being complained about
  6. Complaints which relate to a Councillor or voting co-optee’s personal or private life
  7. Complaints containing trivial, vexatious or politically motivated allegations
  8. Complaints regarding alleged behaviour which has already been investigated
  9. Complaints which relate to an alleged failure to comply with the rules regarding ‘Disclosable Pecuniary Interests’
  10. Complaints which do not relate to the Code of Conduct

If your complaint falls under one of these categories please contact the Council’s Governance Manager who will advise you on alternative courses of action open to you.


 

You are not obliged either by statute or by contract to provide your contact details. They will only be used by the Monitoring Officer or his staff to process and update you on your complaint; a Council task carried out in the public interest.
