Complaints
If you have a complaint about the Council, councillors or the clerk then please look through this page to see the course of action.
Clerk
Complaints about an employee of the council, such as the clerk, should be addressed to the chairman of the Council in the first instance. These complaints will be dealt with by the South Tawton Parish Council Employment Committee as an employment matter. Therefore, action will be taken internally according to the approved Disciplinary Procedure of the Parish Council.
Councillors
Complaints about councillors must be addressed to the Monitoring Officer at West Devon Borough Council. The Parish Council has no authority to respond to such complaints.
