Dear Councillor Brookes,

Many thanks for your recent email response to my email of 12 July 2011.

Of course, you are correct; posting a comment on your blog  from within the EDI system was certainly an incorrect usage of the  EDI IT systems. EDI systems are a work tool and not a tool to engage local councillors or to offer opinion on a councillor’s political strategy. It was naive of me to have utilised the company system to post this comment and for that I apologise for confusing the issue which led  to your assumption of EDI involvement.  For the avoidance of doubt I confirm  EDI had nothing to do with the comment I posted to your blog at 7.45am, 7 July 2011, , nor does EDI have any business nor professional interest in local politics, which includes Oakham Town Council/Rutland County Council.

The result of my errant  usage of the company’s IT system  has been investigated by senior management, an apology offered and a line has since been drawn under the matter. I would therefore like to confirm, once again, that the  comment I  posted on your blog  at 7.45am, 7 July 2011 was nothing to do with EDI and was solely my own opinion.  

As this matter is solely  between you and me I respectfully ask  that you remove references to EDI plc from your blog.  Of course, I do not expect or request that you remove any reference to me.   I believe that you have every right to make reference to my comments and indeed myself.

To address your concerns I am more than happy to meet you, in person, should you wish to discuss the comment I uploaded to your blog and my personal  views on local political strategy


Best Regards

Adam Robinson
