You may complain about the conduct of a councillor of Lewes District Council or a councillor of one of our parish or town councils.

  1. Lewes District Council's Code of Conduct in the case of a District Councillor or 
  2. The relevant Town / Parish Council's Code of Conduct in the case of a Town or Parish Councillor.  

The sub-committee cannot deal with complaints about other issues not covered by this Code.

E-mail complaints marked for the attention of  'Chair, Assessment Sub-Committee' and sent to: catherine.knight@lewes.gov.uk
