Statement

Chatteris Town Council is a democratic body that abides by the collective decision of its members. All members have the opportunity to put forward their views and to vote when required to do so. Once a decision has been made all councillors should then respect that decision. Under the Code of Conduct a Councillor must not bring their role or the local authority into disrepute.

Views put out on social media by individual councillors are not the views of the Council, unless it is specifically stated that the views have been agreed by the Council.

The Council condemns any discrimination based on ethnicity, age, sex or disability. The Council wishes to disassociate itself from any discriminatory or bullying comments issued by an elected member.
