  Revising the register of Interests form

  

  Report of the Borough Solicitor.

   

  The Register of Interests form for councillors was last revised in March 2022 following the approval by Council of a new Councillor Code of Conduct. The revised form incorporated the new categories of interests as established in the Code. Following a review of the current form and approach to registering the interests of a councillor’s spouse/partner or relevant others, this report recommends the reformatting of the form to enhance openness and provide a reminder to councillors and co-opted Members of their obligations.
