Complaints about councillor conduct

Information about the standards route for complaints about a Greenhaven councillor.

Current position

Greenhaven Council has not yet elected councillors, so there is no current Greenhaven councillor conduct complaint route to use.

When councillors are elected

Once councillors have been elected, this page will provide the Greenhaven councillor code of conduct, the Monitoring Officer contact and the route for making a complaint that a councillor has breached the code.

Service complaints are different

A complaint about a councillor's conduct is different from dissatisfaction with a council service or administrative action. Service complaints use the council complaints route once the relevant services are operating.

What a conduct complaint concerns

A conduct complaint concerns whether an elected councillor has failed to follow the code of conduct that applies to Greenhaven councillors. The published procedure will explain what information to provide and how the complaint is considered.

Service complaints are different

If your concern is about a council service, an administrative decision or the way an enquiry was handled, use the council complaints route instead.

Political disagreement

The standards process concerns conduct under the applicable code. It is not a route for overturning a lawful council decision simply because a resident disagrees with the political choice made.
