Councillors' register of interests

The Localism Act 2011 requires councillors to register 'disclosable pecuniary interests'. The Council, on 19 July 2012, adopted a Code of Conduct (PDF, 200 KB)(opens new window) which also requires declaration of 'other pecuniary interests' as defined.

The Register of Interests is maintained by the Monitoring Officer. Details of each councillor's declaration can be found on their individual webpages..
