Decision Maker: Ethical Governance and Personnel Committee
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
The Committee received a final investigation report into a complaint about a parish councillor allegedly undermining, bullying and harassing an employee of the parish council. Whilst members noted some minor discrepancies in some of the information provided by the subject member and complainant, it was acknowledged that there had been an ongoing dispute between the two individuals and a history of complaints.
It was felt that, on the balance of probabilities, the subject member had not breached the parish council’s code of conduct and no further action should be taken.
Members thanked the investigating officer for a very thorough report.
On the motion of Councillor Moore, seconded by Councillor Mrs Hall, it was
RESOLVED – no action be taken as no breach had occurred.
