Councillors are required to make a declaration of
interest about any interests they have which could potentially
interfere with council business.
The details of this code of conduct are explained within our
Constitution.
The document outlines how they must declare any interests,
gifts or hospitality which they have or may have received.
This can include anything which could influence any decisions
they may make as councillors and should include the following
information:
- Contracts between themselves and their firm and the
council
- Personal employment or business details
- Local land interests
- Directorships
A full description of such interests are set out in the
Constitution.
The details of any declarations by individual councillors can be
found within the appropriate minutes
of
council meetings where they are declared as a matter of common
practice.
