All
authorities have a responsibility for their own standards of
conduct. All except Parish/Town Councils are required to
establish their own Standards Committee. In the case of
Stocksbridge Town Council the Standards Committee of Sheffield
City Council act on their behalf. The 3 Parish/Town Councils in
the Sheffield area, namely, Stocksbridge, Ecclesfield and
Bradfield, have a Parish/Town Councillor representative on this
Committee.
All
authorities were required to adopt a Members’ Code of Conduct,
consistent with a model approved by Parliament. Following their
election, all Councillors are required to give a written
declaration that they will duly and faithfully fulfil the
requirements of the role of Councillor according to the best of
their judgement and ability.
All
Members of Stocksbridge Town Council subscribe to this Code as
adopted at the meeting held on 11th April 2004.
On 4th April 2007 the Government issued a revised model Code
of Conduct for Parish and Town Councils. This Code was
adopted by Stocksbridge Town Council at the meeting held on 14th
June 2007.
