Request

(1) Please state how many complaints the council received about councillors’ conduct for the years (i) 2024 (ii) 2025 and (iii) 2026 

(2) For each year stated above, please state how many complaints were about (i) a Labour councillor’s conduct (ii) a Reform UK councillor’s conduct (iii) a Conservative councillor’s conduct (iv) a Liberal Democrat councillor’s conduct (v) a Green Party councillor’s conduct (vi) an Independent councillor’s conduct.
