Purbeck District Council

Purbeck District Council is committed to promoting and maintaining the highest standards of conduct and corporate governance.

All Councillors in Purbeck, including Parish and Town Council Members, are also bound by a Code of Conduct that governs their general behaviour and sets out things they must and must not do whilst acting in their official capacity and also explains what members must do when potential conflicts arise at meetings. 

The Code includes rules requiring all Councillors to register and declare interests, gifts and hospitality.  These public registers can be inspected during office hours at the District Council offices, Westport House, Worgret Road, Wareham.

Anyone who considers that a member may have breached the Code of Conduct may make a complaint to the Purbeck Standards Committee.

For further information visit the Standards in Public Life section of the website, which contains information about the Council's Standards Committee and the complaints process.
