censorship by Rutland County Council Joscelyne Court hearing

Below is another example of censorship by Rutland County Council!

The female member of the public received this e-mail from Mr Brown who was head of highways, who has now been promoted to head bully, sorry head of operations at Rutland County Council, whatever that means?

(Rutland County County Councils Chief Executive Helen Briggs would like the public to believe she has streamlined the council, by only having three directors. If you dig into the Council web site you will find  a whole list of assistant directors and heads?)

The member of public chose to publicise her court case relate to non payment of Council Tax.

Non payment of Council Tax is a criminal offence and cases are heard at Magistrates Courts and are open to the public and therefore it is likely details of cases could be published in the press.

The member of the public has done nothing wrong by commenting on-line.

This is clearly another case of Rutland County Council attempting censorship!

The member of the public is now writing to the court to obtain a copy of the transcript from the court.
