Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council (23 018 270)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Councillor conduct and standards 11-Jun-2024

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to follow its complaint procedure. Part of the complaint is late, and we have seen no reason to investigate the late issues now. There is not enough evidence of fault in the way the Council considered a complaint that councillors had breached the code of conduct. Finally, we do not consider the complainant has suffered sufficient personal injustice from a failure to follow the complaint procedure alone to justify an investigation.
