Parish Councillors need to complete a Register of Interest form and submit to the NK Monitoring Officer within 28 days of being elected or co-opted to the authority. 

They are also required to update their Register of Interest form when there is a new interest to register or an interest ceases e.g. employment or property. Another reason may be if a Parish Council changes its Code of Conduct which may impact upon ‘interests’.

But there is no need to resubmit a fresh form on annual basis as the current form allows for amendments to be made and annotated without completing a new form.

It is good practice for all Parish Councillors to review their Register of Interest forms at least twice a year in case their circumstances have changed.

Amended forms need to be emailed to North Kesteven District Council - BusinessSupportTeam@n-kesteven.gov.uk

It is recommended by the Monitoring Officer that each Parish Councillor keeps a copy of their own register of Interests. The Parish Clerk must ensure that the updated Register is available on the Parish Council’s website for inspection if required.
