Public Duty and private interest
Disclosure of pecuniary and other interests

Public duty and private interest

2.    Your over-riding duty as a councillor is to the whole of the local community.    (our emphasis)

3.    You have a special duty to your constituents, including those who did not vote for you.
 

6.    You should never do anything as a councillor which you could not justify to the public. Your conduct, and what the public
       believes about your conduct, will affect the reputation of your council, and of your party if you belong to one.

7.    It is not enough to avoid actual impropriety. You should at all times avoid any occasion for suspicion and improper
       conduct.
 

Disclosure of pecuniary and other interests

9.    Interests which are not pecuniary can be just as important. You should not allow the imprssion to be created that you are, or may be, using your position to promote a private or personal interest, rather than forwarding the general public interest.
