All councillors are required to comply with the Council’s downloadable 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.
The types of complaint that Standards Committees can consider are described in the downloadable How to make a complaint about a councillor (PDF, 516Kb) publication.
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:
Chairman of the Assessment Sub-Committee

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 downloadable Member Complaint Form (PDF, 109Kb).
Your complaint and any request for confidentiality will be considered by the Assessment Sub-Committee using adopted criteria (see downloadable Criteria for Accepting/Rejecting Complaints (PDF, 37Kb)).
