Minutes:
Janet Fasan, Divisional Director, Legal Services and Deputy Monitoring Officer, introduced the regular update report monitoring complaints under the Member Code of Conduct.
She reported that there had been three complaints since May 2019 with the most recent one being in October 2019. For that complaint it was considered that there wasn’t enough evidence to warrant a formal investigation but the Monitoring Officer did still decide it was worth investigating the complaint as far as it could reasonably be taken including writing to the Member concerned.
The Chair welcomed the report and that there were lower numbers of complaints than there had been a number of years previously.
The fact that the Monitoring Officer had carried out reasonable investigation on the most recent complaint even though there wasn’t sufficient evidence for a full formal investigation was also welcomed.
RESOVLED
1. That the report be noted.
