COMPLAINT FORM –
Councillors’ Code of Conduct
You can use this form to complain about Councillors and co-opted members of Leeds City Council, or any of the Parish and Town Councils in the Leeds area. However, please note that the Standards Committee can only consider complaints about the behaviour of individual Councillors or members, not about the Council as a whole or the people employed by it.
If you wish to make a complaint about the Council as a whole, or one of its services, please contact ‘Compliments and Complaints’ on 0113 222 44 05.
You should refer to the guidance leaflet “How to complain about the behaviour of a Councillor” for more information about the complaints process, the decisions the Assessment Sub-Committee can reach, and the criteria they will use to make these decisions.
Before you submit your complaint you should be aware that if the Assessment Sub-Committee decides to refer your complaint for investigation, you will be interviewed as part of this investigation, and may be called as a witness in any subsequent hearing. The investigation process should last around six months, and any hearing would take place within three months after this. However, these timescales are subject to change depending on the co-operation of the parties and the complexities of the case. If your complaint is referred for investigation we will send you further information at this time.
