People like Paul Beech really need to get a life. perhaps if there minds were not clouded with the effects of booze then they would not be costing the tax payer a fortune with all their standards complaints.
Yes Mr Beech was pouring beer into his mug at this event a hypocrite! he supports a public ban on drinking in Oakham public places.
Mr Beech former Mayor complained to Rutland County Council Standards Ref: 08/11 I think this shows how desperate he was to see me removed from the Town Council.
He complained that Cllr Brookes (that was me) acted in breach of the code of the Council's Code of Conduct in that on 31st July 2011 he took photographs of him and his wife both drunk and enjoying themselves like many other people at a public event. Further, on the 1st August Councillor Brookes had criticised the way in which the complainant and his wife had enjoyed the event in a conversation with the receptionist at the Rutland Times. (rather drops her in it as she says she has never communicated with Mr Beech about matters relating to me)
Mr Beech considered both actions disrespectful.
The Standards Committee Assessment Sub Committee considered that the complaint did not demonstrate that the subject member had been acting in his official capacity at the time of the incidents.
Various other complaints from Cllr Dewis and Mayor Joyce Lucas were not upheld.
I think what annoys me the most about this is there is a clear paper trail and date links that confirm to me what the Clerk said to me when I first became a Councillor was true, even though Mr Beech refutes the allegation.
The Clerk said he was asked by Paul Beech, "what he was going to do to get rid of me".
It is very clear the Mayor Cllr Lucas supported this campaign because her last complaint was based on what Cllr Alf Dewis felt was a breach, clearly she can't think for herself and has to carry out the wishes of Beech, Dewis, and the Foul mouthed Deputy Mayor Charles Haworth
Mr and Mrs Beech feature in Richard Adams 2012 Rutland calendar the reason I won't be purchasing one this year.
The photograph was taken at the same event. Mr Adams is a former town clerk. I trust he asked permission to publish his photograph taken in a public place or is he also disrespectful?
