Martin Brookes Blog Monitored by Three Rutland County Council Officers

First Rutland County District Council's legal officer tells me Rutland County Council Staff can not access my blog at work and this included him.
He now writes to tell me three officers monitor my blog in these times of cut backs is that not an excessive waste of Council Officers time?

Hello Mr Brookes.

Theresa Stokes has passed on your information from earlier.

I think you are mixing two different issues.  I have never said that access to your website has been blocked to all Council computers.  In fact there are three desktop PCs which are not blocked (there used to be none blocked).  They have been left to enable three specified officers to gain access to monitor the contents on an occasional basis from the point of view of the Council's own functional interests.  Any access from these PCs would be gained through the controlled IP address for the main building.  No posting would ever be made from these PCs.

This is entirely separate from the Library and wireless connections with which we have been concerned.

Regards
Geoff Pook
