Declaration of Interest
All members of the Council are required, by law, to complete a declaration of interest form to register their financial and organisational interests.
These include:
- details of any employment or business carried out by them;
- the name of their employer;
- details of any Directorships;
- contracts between themselves/their firm and the Council;
- interests in land in the area;
- any other organisations they belong to.
Members Interests are described in more detail in the Members' Code of Conduct in Part 6 of the Council Constitution.
The Statutory Register of Members Interests is maintained by Steve Altridge (Community Governance) - Telephone: 01823 355026 / Email: SJAltridge@somerset.gov.uk - and is available for inspection by appointment.
In keeping with the Council's e-governance agenda, an electronic copy of each individual member's interest information will be available on this website at the end of January 2007. The electronic copy is not, however, the Statutory Register of Members Interests; although every effort will be taken to ensure, so far as is possible, that the electronic copy continues to match the Statutory Register. Members of the public should, therefore, be careful to check both copies before relying upon the information appearing in the electronic version.
Furthermore, as this electronic version is not a legal requirement some Councillors have chosen to "opt-out" of this electronic version and, as such, an appropriate "cross-reference" page has been inserted for the same. Please note the electronic version is for viewing purposes only and, therefore, non-printable.
Member's interests will be shown towards the bottom of the entry for each councillor on our website at the link:County Councillors
