Complaints against BCP Council members increasing (external investigations costing £1k each) BULLYING, intimidation and failing to treat others with respect – just some of the claims being investigated again councillors in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. Others allege that councillors have brought the office of councillor, or the council, into disrepute and that there has been an unlawful disclosure of confidential information. More than twenty code of conduct investigations are currently listed by BCP Council – none of them naming the individuals involved. Most of the cases involve BCP councillors although the authority also investigates code of conduct complaints again town and parish councillors within its area. Almost all complaints over the past two years have been dismissed.
