Summary

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

The Assessment Sub Committee of North West Leicestershire Council is scheduled to convene on Monday 22 June 2026. The primary focus of the meeting, as indicated by the available documents, is to consider allegations of a failure to observe the council's Code of Conduct. The committee will also decide whether to exclude the press and public from parts of the proceedings.

Allegations of Failure to Observe the Code of Conduct

The most significant item scheduled for discussion is a report from the Legal Team Manager and Deputy Monitoring Officer concerning allegations of a failure to observe the Code of Conduct. The report, which spans pages 3 to 42 of the public reports pack1, is expected to form the basis of the committee's deliberations. The specific nature of these allegations and the individuals or parties involved are not detailed in the provided agenda, but the report itself will be made available to the committee members: Councillor Doug Cooper, Councillor Jenny Simmons (Deputy Chair of the Council), Councillor Ray Sutton, and Gordon Grimes.

Exclusion of the Press and Public

The Assessment Sub Committee is scheduled to consider whether to exclude the press and public from the hearing. This decision will be made based on representations from all parties involved, and the grounds for any such exclusion will be determined at that time.
