Local Code of Conduct and Complaints Process:

From 1st July 2012 local councils are required to adopt a Local Code of Conduct for Members. The responsibility for considering complaints that a member may have breached the Code of Conduct will remain with South Gloucestershire Council.  The Doynton Parish Council Equality and Diversity Policy can be seen here. The Doynton Parish Council Safeguarding Policy for young people can be seen here and here.

What this means to you:

Doynton Parish Council adopted its Local Code of Conduct on 19th September 2012. The Revised Code of Conduct is available here and the complaints procedure is here.  The small parish transparency code is here.  If you consider that a Parish/Town Councillor has acted in such a way as to breach the Code of Conduct, you must submit your complaint in writing to:

The Monitoring Officer
South Gloucestershire Council
Council Offices
Castle Street
Thornbury
South Gloucestershire
BS35 1HF


A standard complaint form is available on the South Gloucestershire Council web site.  Complaints will be referred to the Standards Sub-Committee of South Gloucestershire Council.  It will only deal with complaints about the behaviour of a member. It will not deal with complaints about things that are not covered by the members’ Code of Conduct.
