Sensitive Interests
If you believe that disclosing the details of any of your interest(s) could lead to violence or intimidation against you or a connected person, and you want these details withheld from the public register, please complete Part C of the Register of Interests form.
If the Monitoring Officer agrees that your interest(s) constitutes a sensitive interest under the Localism Act 2011, they will record the information but specify in the public register that an interest has been disclosed and withheld under Section 32 of the Localism Act with the agreement of the Monitoring Officer.

After the initial registration, notify the Monitoring Officer of any subsequent interests or changes to existing interests within 28 days of becoming aware of the change. Please complete a new Register of Interest form, then return it to the Monitoring Officer at Monitoring.Officer@Wealden.gov.uk
