William Foster made this Official Information request to Auckland Council
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for William Foster to read a recent response and update the status.
From: William Foster
Dear Auckland Council,
Please advise any statistics you hold on the number of complaints received about the conduct of elected members. Please provide the information on an annual basis for as many years as you hold the data (since 2010).
For each year please show how many complaints were lodged by members and how many by members of the public and how many were lodged by staff. For each category please indicate how many were found in favour of the complainant and how many were dismissed, and separately how many were decided after being referred to an Independent Commissioner for consideration and in those cases how many were found in favour of the complainant and how many were dismissed.
Please advise if there have been since 2010 any cases where action was taken against an elected member as a result of any complaint found in favour of the complainant. If so please advise what action was taken (no personal details to be provided).
Thank you for your attention
Kind Regards,
William Foster
