New code of conduct for councillors slammed as being useless in stopping bad behaviour
A new code of conduct for councillors has been dubbed 'as useless as a chocolate fire guard' after it became clear there is no way to enforce it. Wigan Council’s Audit, Governance and Standards Committee endorsed a new protocol put forward by the government which all councillors must adhere to.
“There have been moments where councillors haven’t dealt with officers when complaints have been made. What procedures are there to deal with councillors who don’t engage with officers [in regard to complaints]?.” A working group was proposed by the committee back in June 2022 and they came up with recommendations to add that councillors must: comply with the council members protocol, the social media policy and the protocol for investigating complaints.
