09 February 2012All members have to record their interests in a public register of interests.
Members, also know as Councillors, must tell the Monitoring Officer in writing within 28 days of taking office, or within 28 days of any change to their interests, of any interests which fall within the categories set out in the Members' Code of Conduct (please select the 'Constitution' in from the 'Folders' list on the left-hand side of the page then select select Appendix Q from the documents table).
The Register is a document that can be consulted when or before an issue arises, and so allows the public, authority staff and fellow Members to know what interests a Member has, and whether they might give rise to a possible conflict of interest.
The registers for Sevenoaks District Council Members and Members of the 30 Parish and Town Councils in the District, can be inspected at the Council offices, by contacting the Democratic Services Team on 01732 227241 or e-mail democratic.services@sevenoaks.gov.uk.
To view the District Council's Members' latest declaration of interests forms, visit the Members' section of the Council's Committee Management Information System, select a Councillor and click on the 'Member's Interests' tab.
