How to complain about a Councillor

How to make a complaint about a councillor


All councillors are required to comply with the Council’s Code of Conduct (PDF, 114kb). The Code sets out the standards of conduct that are required of councillors.  From 8 May 2008 the responsibility for considering complaints that a member may have breached the Code of Conduct is moving to the standards committees of local authorities.

What this means to you

After 8 May 2008 if you want to complain about the conduct of a member of Babergh District Council or a member of one of our parish or town councils, you must submit your complaint in writing to:

Chair of the assessment sub-committee
The Standards Committee
c/o The Monitoring Officer
Babergh District Council 
Corks Lane
Hadleigh
Ipswich
IP7 6SJ

To ensure that the assessment sub-committee receives the information that it requires to consider your complaint, please complete a complaint form by clicking on the link Member Complaint Form (PDF, 109kb)

Your complaint and any request for confidentiality will be considered by the Assessment Sub-Committee using adopted criteria (PDF, 37kb).

Further information on the Standards Committee and its'  work is available from the Council's Monitoring Officer.
