Contact Details
As a matter of fairness and in the interests of natural justice, a Councillor will usually be told at the outset that a Complaint has been made against him/her and by whom.
We need your contact details in case we need to clarify any details in your complaint. However, your address and contact details will not usually be released unless necessary or in order to deal with your complaint.
However, we will tell the following people that you have made this Complaint:
- the Councillor(s) you are complaining about;
- the Council's Monitoring Officer;
- the Parish or Town Clerk (if applicable);
- the Independent Person;
- Members of the Overview & Scrutiny Committee.
However, if you have serious concerns about your name, or details of your Complaint being released, please see Guidance Note 4 below and note this on your form.
