Register of Councillors’ Disposable Pecuniary Interests
As part of the democratic process Councillors are, upon election, required to disclose any pecuniary interests.
The register of pecuniary interests is a public record of a public official’s financial interests that could potentially influence their duties.
It is used to maintain transparency and prevent conflicts of interest in areas like government, local councils, and schools.
The register details things like employment, business ownership, shares, and property ownership.
The register of interests for Tysoe Parish Council is available to view on the Stratford-on-Avon District Council site here.
List of Councillors’ Responsibilities
To capitalise on their areas of expertise and interest, Councillors volunteer to focus on specific areas.

Committees are formal groups with terms of reference and scheduled meetings. They have delegated powers from the main Council which allows them to move important issues along and make decisions without interrupting normal parish business at Ordinary meetings.
