Declarations of interest
Penny Bunker - November 2009

How to contact us:
There are times when councillors might have a particular interest in an
item being considered by a committee. This might be a financial interest,
for example, relating to the company for whom they work.
There are other occasions where the interest is non-financial but could
relate to a friend or something like the membership of an association.
The judgement is whether the councillor could be influenced in their decisions
by that interest. Under the National Code of Local Government Conduct a
councillor has to declare that interest and, as necessary, take no part
in the decision.
