‘Five Council’ Proposal Public Consultation
Have your say on the future of councils in Essex. Councils across Greater Essex are seeking public input on plans to replace the current Local Authority structure with fewer, larger unitary councils.
Making a complaint against a member
Under Section 28 (6) and (7) of the Localism Act 2011 the Council must have in place "arrangements" under which allegations that a member or co-opted member of the council has failed to comply with the council's Code of Conduct can be investigated and decisions made on such allegations.
If you wish to make a complaint against a member or co-opted member you will need to submit your complaint in writing using the Council's Complaint Form.pdf [pdf] 92KB and return it to the Monitoring Officer, Castle Point Borough Council, Kiln Road, Benfleet, Essex, SS7 1TF or email it to: monitoringofficer@castlepoint.gov.uk.
