Question

How, or who do you complain to, if the Parish Council website is not being updated?

Answer 1

You complain to the council in the first instance and then if you have no luck, contact the Monitoring Officer at your Borough or District level.

Locally our MO is not interested in anything other than breaches of the code of conduct.  I'd suggest referring to the auditors as they are responsible for ensuring compliance with procedural matters and in particular for publication of statutory matters such as accounts etc.
Of course, the first port of call really should be to the parish council to ask that they update their website in accordance with regulations.

Answer 2

You could try highlighting it to the PC, but you’ll probably find they already know and either don’t have the interest, expertise or resources to update.
You could try the Monitoring officer, bit of a stretch, but it could be preventing access to information to which you would be entitled - but unlikely to be CoC since the ‘complaint’ would be against the PC rather than a named individual - ergo, not MO CoC territory.
You could try the auditor (IA and / or EA) but that’s fairly nugatory too.
I’d suggest your best bet, depending upon what it is that is not being updated, would be to highlight the ICO model publication scheme to the PC and, if the elements you believe to be unpublished or outdated fall within the terms of the ICO MPS, forward your complaint to the ICO if PC refuse to engage.
ICO can DIRECT compliance and fine for failure if necessary.

Answer 3

The monitoring officer of the principal authority will be unlikely to take any action as this is unlikely to be connected with a code of conduct.  If the Council website is stipulated as a source of information in it's publication scheme then you can complain to the Information Commissioner.
