It is important to note that not every complaint that falls within the jurisdiction of the standards committee will be referred for investigation or other action.
If your complaint relates to a member of North Lincolnshire Council, it will be considered by an Assessment Panel of the Standards Committee. If your complaint relates to a member of a town and parish council who is not also a member of North Lincolnshire Council, it will usually be considered by the Monitoring Officer. In each case they will make this decision using Assessment Criteria .
You will be notified in writing of the Assessment Panel or Monitoring Officer’s decision in due course.
The Standards Committee – Hearing Panel met on 4 April to consider the outcome of an investigation into the conduct of a member of Goxhill Parish Council, Cllr Sam England. The Panel found that Cllr England breached the Code of Conduct by not treating the council’s clerk with dignity and respect.
Due to this breach Cllr England received a letter of censure from the Monitoring Officer, and The Panel also recommended a range of other sanctions, including a written apology from Cllr England to the clerk. Cllr England is yet to apologise.
