The Code of Conduct is a way of ensuring the business of the council is undertaken in a professional manner and clarifies and reinforces the ethical standards in local government. It defines a set of practical guidelines and clearly sets out the councillor's responsibilities as a representative of the residents of Epsom and Ewell. It also requires that appropriate interests in jobs, property and businesses are declared.

This council adopted its Code of Conduct for Councillors in December 2023. You can find it in Appendix 1 of the Council's Constitution.

If you feel that a councillor has breached the code of conduct, you must make your complaint on the  attached form.  A guide for the Member Complaint process is available on this webpage to assist you.
