Carys Jones represents Llansteffan Ward. This Ward encompasses Llansteffan, Llanybri, Llangain and Llangynog community wards. WARDS & SEATS: Each community councillor represents a ‘ward’. There are 10 seats on the Community Council – 5 seats for Llansteffan Ward and 5 seats for Llanybri Ward. Contact details for all councillors are found below. You may find it easier to contact councillors representing your ward, but you do not have to. MEMBER’S CODE OF CONDUCT: The Council has adopted the Local Authorities Model Code of Conduct which governs the conduct of councillors when acting in that capacity – English copy here and Welsh copy here. The Model Code of Conduct (Wales) (Amendment) Order 2016 can be found here. The Amendment Order was adopted by the Community Council on 18th April 2016. In brief, the Order has:
- Removed the obligation on members to report potential breaches of the Code to the Ombudsman (thus relying on local low-level complaint resolution processes);
- Transfered responsibility for maintaining the Register of Member’s Interests to the Clerk;
- Clarified that all personal interests disclosed must be entered in the Register;
- Clarified the position in relation to member’s participation in any business relating to constituency interests.
The Register of Declarations of Member’s Interests for 2015 – 2016 can be found here. The Register of Declarations of Member’s Interests from 1st April 2016 can be found here. The onus lies with the individual councillor to abide by the Code and uphold the key Principles of Public Life i.e. SELFLESSNESS, HONESTY, INTEGRITY and PROPRIETY, DUTY TO UPHOLD THE LAW, STEWARDSHIP, OBJECTIVITY IN DECISION-MAKING, EQUALITY and RESPECT, OPENNESS, ACCOUNTABILITY and LEADERSHIP.
