Issue - meetings

The Committee received the Annual Report of the Monitoring Officer for the 2014/15 municipal year. The Monitoring Officer reported that one complaint against a Member had been received that year but had not been formally investigated as it had been rejected on the grounds of being ‘vexatious, frivolous or malicious or in some other way an abuse of process.’

The Committee was informed that questions of predetermination and declarations of interest arose most frequently in relation to planning matters.

It was reported that no dispensations had been granted that year.

Training on decision making and standards issues had been provided for all Members following the Elections. Parish councillors had also received training on planning and standards matters.

RESOLVED that the Annual Report be noted.
