Members’ Register of Interests
A councillor is subject to statutory rules which require them to be transparent about the existence of certain financial and personal interests. These interests restrict participation in the discussion and voting at a meeting that is considering a matter in which they hold a financial or other interest.
The Register of Interests is available on the Arun District Council website.
