About the code of conduct
This Code has been adopted by Hartlepool Borough Council in compliance with the requirements set out in Chapter 7 of the Localism Act 2011.
This Code defines the standards of conduct which will be required of all Members and co-opted Members of the Council.
This Code of Conduct is based on the Local Government Association Model Councillor Code of Conduct, which was developed in 2020 and approved by Full Council on 30 September 2021.
Any person may make a written complaint to the Monitoring Officer that a Member or Co-opted Member has breached the Code.
