Northumberland county councillors are set to be consulted on new plans that could see their addresses hidden from their official register of interests.
Declarations of interests are public documents which include any land the councillor holds within the county, including the address of any property they live in.
However, the issue of members' safety has become paramount in recent years following attacks on elected officials in other parts of the country. As such, the council has suggested that a dispensation could be applied allowing members to hide their addresses.
