Constitutional documents
The Broads Authority maintains a register of members' interests in which the members of the Broads Authority register their interests in accordance with the Broads Authority's Code of Conduct for Members. This Register of Interests is open to public inspection at the Broads Authority's office in Norwich, or you can view this information on the individual member's page.
Independent Persons
Under the Localism Act 2011, the Authority is required to appoint one or more Independent Persons to assist the Authority in promoting and maintaining high standards of conduct among its Members.
An Independent Person must be consulted on a decision to investigate a complaint and before a decision is made on a complaint. An Independent Person may be consulted on other Code of Conduct issues, including by the Member who is the subject of the complaint.
Two Independent Persons have been appointed: Christine Lee and Amanda Orchard.
