Complaints against councillors

If you want to complain about the conduct of a member of Copeland Borough Council or a member of one of the parish or town councils in Copeland, you must complete and submit a Code of Conduct complaints form. 

The Standards and Ethics Committee can only deal with complaints about the behaviour of a member as defined in the Code of Conduct and will deal with complaints under the Code of Conduct procedure. 

Access a Code of Conduct complaints form.

If you need further advice or help on anything relating to the Code of Conduct, contact us.
