(a) holding any office or employment, appointments to which are or may be made or confirmed by the local authority;
(b) being bankrupt or having made a composition or arrangement with creditors;
(c) having been sentenced within the previous five years to a term of imprisonment
(whether suspended or not) of not less than three months;
(d) being disqualified under Part III of the Representation of the People Act 1983 or under
the Audit Commission Act 1998.
