Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Wiltshire and are not the council. About us

The Standards Assessment Sub-Committee of Wiltshire Council is scheduled to meet on Thursday 18 June 2026 to consider two separate complaints. The meeting will begin with a review of the minutes from the previous meeting and procedural matters before moving to consider the complaints, which are expected to be discussed in private.

Investigation of Complaint: COC54073

The Sub-Committee is scheduled to consider the Investigating Officer's report and the Monitoring Officer's recommendation regarding complaint COC54073. The report pack indicates that the Sub-Committee will be asked to resolve whether to dismiss the complaint or refer it to the Hearing Sub-Committee for further investigation. The previous meeting's minutes show that a similar complaint, COC54073, was referred for investigation.

Assessment of Complaint: COC55018

The Sub-Committee is also scheduled to assess complaint COC55018. The report pack outlines the process for assessing complaints, which involves reviewing the initial complaint, any response from the Subject Member, and other relevant information. The Sub-Committee will consider whether the alleged behaviour, if proven, would amount to a breach of the relevant Code of Conduct and whether it is appropriate to refer the matter for investigation.

The meeting is scheduled to take place in the West Wiltshire Room at County Hall, Bythesea Road, Trowbridge, BA14 8JN. The agenda documents can be found on the Wiltshire Council website.
