The Leicester City Council Standards Advisory Board met on 9 July 2025 to discuss a complaint against a councillor. The board was also scheduled to discuss some items in a private session.

Complaint Against a Councillor

The board was scheduled to consider the investigator's findings regarding a code of conduct complaint against a councillor. According to the agenda, the Monitoring Officer submitted a report to enable the committee to consider the materials available in respect of the complaint.

  • Deliberations of a standards committee in reaching any finding on a matter referred under specific provisions of the Local Government Act 20003
