Description

Oldham councillors are advocating for stricter rules and consequences for misconduct, following a surge in standards complaints. Councillors Holly Harrison and Graham Shuttleworth are leading this push, aiming to restore public trust in local democracy. A recent case involved Councillor Mark Kenyon, who was accused of breaching the code of conduct, but was ultimately deemed to have suffered enough after a majority vote. However, concerns remain about the impartiality of councillors deciding on their peers conduct.
