Complain about a councillor

Confidentiality of complaints

In the interests of fairness and natural justice, members will usually be told who has made a complaint against them.

If you make a complaint about a member you can ask that your identity is withheld. This will be granted in certain circumstances, for example:

  • You have reasonable grounds for believing you would be at risk of physical harm
  • You work closely with the member and are afraid of the consequences for your employment
  • You suffer from a serious health condition that might be made worse
