Under the Chesterfield Members' Code of Conduct, members register certain categories of interests (listed below) by providing written notification to the Monitoring Officer.

Members need to register these interests within 28 days of his or her election or appointment to office. It is good practice if they also notify the Monitoring Officer of any changes to these interests. Within 28 days they must notify the Monitoring Officer of any additional pecuniary interests declared at meetings.

The register is kept by the Monitoring Officer and can be inspected at the Town Hall. Details of Members' interests can also be viewed on the pages about our Councillors. For information about the Register of Interests please contact:
