Complaints against members under the Localism Act 2011 local code of conduct

The request was successful.

Dear Harrogate Borough Council,

How many complaints have been made against members of the Council by officers of the Council since the adoption by the council of its local code of conduct in accordance with the Localism Act 2011.

What percentage of the total number of complaints against members of the council under the local code does this represent?

In what percentage of complaints originated by officers were members found to have breached the local code and a sanction imposed?

Yours faithfully,

Ray Tomkinson

Rich Kemp, Harrogate Borough Council
