The Standards Assessment Sub-Committee of Wiltshire Council met on Thursday 18 June 2026. The meeting was scheduled to consider two complaints regarding the conduct of local councillors. The majority of the meeting was to be held in private to discuss these matters, as they involved information relating to individuals.

Investigation of Complaint: COC54073

The Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider the Investigating Officer's report and the Monitoring Officer's recommendation concerning complaint COC54073. The report pack indicated that the Sub-Committee would need to resolve whether to dismiss the complaint or refer it to the Hearing Sub-Committee for further investigation. The minutes from a previous meeting on 5 March 2026 show that a similar complaint, COC54073, was indeed referred for investigation. This suggests that the current meeting was to follow up on this process, potentially by reviewing the findings of that investigation.

Assessment of Complaint: COC55018

The Sub-Committee was also scheduled to assess complaint COC55018. This would involve reviewing the information provided in the report pack to determine the appropriate course of action. The report pack outlines the procedural rules for the Assessment Sub-Committee, which include criteria for dismissing complaints, referring them for investigation, or for alternative resolution. The minutes from the previous meeting detail the process for assessing complaints, including the consideration of written responses and statements from the subject member and complainant.

The meeting was scheduled to take place at County Hall, Trowbridge¹.
