A panel dealing with complaints about the behaviour of elected individuals and bodies in South Holland have seen a year-on-year surge in cases.
The number of complaints made to a standards panel based at South Holland District Council soared from just five in 2018-19 to 23 in 2019-20.
During a meeting of the council's Standards Panel on Wednesday, it was confirmed that 19 of the 23 complaints during the past year were related to the same matter.
It was also confirmed that two separate cases are still open for a "more detailed investigation".
