Issue - meetings

The Monitoring Officer presented a report to the committee informing members of the Local Government Association (LGA) model code of conduct. The report highlighted the changes that had been made to the previous draft code that had been circulated in May 2020.

The committee heard that there was no requirement to adopt the code but there was an expectation that local authorities would try to achieve a level of consistency across a countywide area. Discussions had been ongoing with other Derbyshire authorities and some of the points raised were included in the report.

RESOLVED –

1.   That the members of the committee consider and comment on the LGA model code.

2.   That a further report is submitted to the next meeting of this committee setting out proposals for a way forward.
