Councillors agree to follow a code of conduct to ensure high standards in the way they undertake their duties. This is detailed in part 5 of the constitution. If you have a complaint about a councillor, please read the information on our governance page first.
Councillors are not paid, but they are entitled to allowances and expenses. Some councillors have additional roles and responsibilities, such as overseeing particular areas of work or chairing committees.
