CODE OF CONDUCT
The Local Government Act 2000 requires Councils to agree to abide by a defined Code of Conduct. All members must individually complete a register of members interests, declaring what organisations they belong to; what property they own in the parish and whether they own shares in any company operating in the parish. This is to promote openness in the decision making process. A member must declare either a PERSONAL or a PREJUDICIAL interest in a matter before it is discussed.
PERSONAL A personal interest is where membership of an organisation is made known, where such an organisation is, for example, applying to the Council for funding.
Declaration of a Personal interest does not mean the Councillor has to leave the room, and he/she may remain during the discussion and voting.
PREJUDICIAL This is more complicated. Should a member, or his/her family or close friends, stand to gain or lose by a decision made by the Council, that member must declare a prejudicial interest and leave the room during discussion and voting. Examples are: a planning application made by a member or his/her family; a planning application for a similar business to the member or his/her family; an application for funding by a member of his/her family or close friends. Anything which the public may consider will prejudice that members decision (either in favour or against) means a member must declare an interest and leave the room.
