Alleged breach of the Members' Code of Conduct (3/18)

Report of the Comptroller and City Solicitor.

Minutes:

The Sub Committee considered the details of a complaint, made by an elected member against an elected member, under the provisions of the Code of Conduct and associated complaints procedure.

In conclusion, and after taking account of all relevant issues, Members considered that the details of the complaint had not provided sufficient evidence for the Sub Committee to conclude that a breach of the Code of Conduct had taken place, and therefore that no further action be taken in relation to the complaint. However, the Sub Committee was concerned at the relationship between ward members and of the view that these relationships could be improved. It was considered that a request should therefore be made to the Chief Commoner and the relevant Alderman, in consultation with all Ward members, to look into what steps could be taken to improve working relationships between members in the Ward.
