Minutes:
It was reported that two training sessions for Borough Councillors and town and parish councillors had been arranged on Wednesday, 10th February (Crewe) and Wednesday, 17th February (Macclesfield) respectively. The events would consider matters relating to the Code of Conduct.
Subsequent to these arrangements being made, it had transpired that Standards for England would be submitting its proposals for the new Code of Conduct to Communities and Local Government in the near future. The new Code was not likely to be available until March/April. In view of this development, it was suggested that the training be postponed until the new Code of Conduct had been published.
RESOLVED:
That the two training sessions on the Code of Conduct, to be held in February 2010, be postponed until the new Code of Conduct had been published.
