MEMBERS of the public are needed to sit on the council's new standards committee.

New laws mean that from April the committee will be responsible for investigating breaches of the code of conduct - work previously done nationally.

Membership of the standards committee has been expanded and there are now vacancies for two independent members and two parish council representatives to sit alongside five borough councillors and two further independent members.

If you are interested in becoming an independent member contact Bryan Magan, head of democratic and member services, on 442120 or email bmagan@warrington.gov.uk for more details.

Closing date is March 6.
