The Standards Sub-Committee of Shropshire Council is scheduled to meet on Thursday, 19 March 2026. The agenda includes the election of a chairman and the consideration of two exempt reports relating to code of conduct complaints.

Code of Conduct Complaints

The committee is scheduled to consider two exempt reports from the Monitoring Officer concerning code of conduct complaints. These reports are detailed and will be presented to the members of the Standards Sub-Committee for their review. The nature of these complaints means that press and public will be excluded from the meeting during their consideration, in accordance with Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

The agenda indicates that the committee will be reviewing detailed information regarding these complaints, with the intention of determining the appropriate course of action. The specific details of the complaints and any potential outcomes are contained within the exempt reports, which are not publicly available.

The committee's previous meeting on 26 January 2026 also considered a code of conduct complaint, where it was resolved that no action be taken in respect of the complaint as it was considered that it was not in the public interest to do so. ¹
