Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on East Riding of Yorkshire and are not the council. About us

The Standards Committee Assessment Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider complaints made against councillors. The meeting was also scheduled to approve the minutes from a previous meeting.

Complaints Against Councillors

The Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider exempt reports concerning complaints made against councillors. These complaints were identified by reference numbers LA/SASC/558 and LA/SASC/559-563, and a report from the Interim Monitoring Officer was scheduled to be presented. The agenda noted that these complaints could concern either Parish/Town Councillors or Members of East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The Sub-Committee was asked to confirm that the public interest in maintaining the exemption of this information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it, as it was likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information as defined in the Local Government Act 19721.

Minutes of Previous Meeting

The Sub-Committee was scheduled to approve the minutes of its previous meeting, which was held on 17 August 2026.
