    Complaints against Members of the Fire and Rescue Authority (FRA)

    The Authority has, in accordance with the requirements of the Localism Act 2011, adopted a Member Code of Conduct and has put in place arrangements for dealing with allegations that a Member or Members may have breached this Code. The Member Code of Conduct can be found in the Fire Authority's Handbook.

    How to make a complaint about a Member of the FRA

    If you wish to complain about the conduct of a Councillor (Fire and Rescue Authority Member) serving on the Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Authority (BFRA) and has breached the Members' Code of Conduct, you must submit your complaint to:-

    Monitoring Officer, Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service Headquarters, Southfields Road, Kempston, Bedfordshire MK42 7NR

    Please note that the process outlined in the complaints guidance only applies to allegations that a Member or Members may have failed to follow the Code of Conduct. It will not deal with complaints about things that are not covered by the Members' Code of Conduct.
