Complaints Process
Changes to the complaints
procedure
From Thursday 8
May 2008 the responsibility for considering complaints that a
Member of the Authority (ie an elected Councillor appointed to it)
may have breached the Code of Conduct has moved from the Standards
Board for England to the Authority’s own local Standards
Committee.
What this means to you
If you want to
complain about the conduct of a Member of the Authority you must
submit your complaint to:
The Clerk to the
Authority
Avon Fire &
Rescue Service
Temple Back
Bristol
BS1 6EU
or email: theclerk@avonfire.gov.uk
The Standards
Committee can only deal with complaints about the behaviour of a
Member. It will not deal with complaints about things that
are not covered by the Members’ Code of Conduct. If you make
a complaint to the Standards Committee it must be about why you
think a Member has not followed the Authority’s Code of
Conduct.
A copy of the
Authority’s Members’ Code of Conduct, together with details of the
complaints process, can be found below, or can be obtained by
writing to the Clerk to the Authority at the above address.
