Minutes:
The Portfolio Holder for Finance and Legal Services advised that the proposed code was based on the LGA model code and it had already been adopted by the other Somerset Councils so it would be Somerset wide. The Somerset Town and Parish Councils had also been encouraged to adopt it which would simplify dealing with Standards matters in the lead up to the new Unitary Council and afterwards and would help with training on the one code. He proposed that the new Members Code of Conduct be adopted and this was seconded and agreed by Council with only abstention.
