At least eight court summons have been issued to councillors across north-east England for non-payment of council tax in the past three years. Councillors in Newcastle and Durham had been taken to court for not paying their council tax bills since 2022, with four court summons issued by Newcastle City Council totaling £2,204 and two by Durham County Council totaling £1,204. The councils have refused to name the councillors in question, citing privacy concerns.

Michael Baird, a Highland councillor, has been suspended for two months after breaching the councillors' code of conduct. The Standards Commission found that Baird was "disrespectful" towards the chair and committee of a local community group over plans to transform Carbisdale Castle. Baird had sent an email stating he would not support future funding for the village hall unless they backed a land purchase, which was deemed as "effectively threatening to use his position and influence". He has accepted that his correspondence may have been interpreted as "discourteous" and apologised "unequivocally".

The Scottish Borders Council's executive committee voted 9-7 to move forward with plans to close six rural nurseries due to low attendance levels, despite protests from parents. The council had previously announced plans to shut down the facilities, citing low capacity and proposing consultation before any closures take place. Parents criticized the short notice and lack of a longer consultation period, with one parent saying the decision was "the wrong decision" and vowing to continue fighting to keep the sites open.

Westminster City Council has suspended busking performances at two pitches in Leicester Square due to a court ruling that ordered the council to stop the "nuisance" caused by buskers. The suspension, which takes effect from April 17 until further notice, applies to both licensed and unlicensed performers, and those who flout the rules may face fines or other penalties. The decision comes after an abatement order was issued against the council by the City of London Magistrates' Court on March 26, prompting the council to explore its grounds for appeal and revise its busking and street entertainment licensing regime.
