Complaints about East Dorset District Council Councillors

If you feel that a councillor or a Member of a parish or town council within the East Dorset area have not behaved in a correct way, you can now make a complaint to your local council for investigation.

The complaint will be considered by the council's Monitoring Officer in the first instance who will decide whether it is appropriate for the complaint to be investigated further.

Please note that the Monitoring Officer can only deal with complaints about things covered by the Members' Code of Conduct. Under the code, the Monitoring Officer is not able to consider complaints about a council decision or about the actions of a member of staff.
