Presentation by Mr. J. Cypher, Parish Councils' representative on Bromsgrove District Council's Standards Committee.

 

Minutes:

Mrs. D. Warren, Senior Solicitor, stated that a query had been received in respect of the District Council's Standards Committee, as to whether co-opted members of the public and / or parish councillors are required to complete a Register of Interests declaration.  In answer to the query, she stated that a form does indeed need to be completed if any person takes part in a decision making role.

 

Mrs. Warren also reminded the parish council representatives that the parish councillors are required to complete a Register of Interests declaration and each parish council needs to submit a copy of their respective Code of Conduct.
