Cllr Richard Gale, Rutland Anti Corruption Party, DATA Protection


DATA Protection


I have written to the Rutland county Council’s Head of Legal Services asking the following 
because you may have read that The Rutland Anti-Corruption Group have been put under 
a “Single Point of Contact”. 
I want to know the legal position if a member of the public contacts me through the 
Council email address with a personal / private problem. Under the SPOC arrangement 
put in place all emails to and from me, Dave and Nick are diverted through SPOC. Who
is SPOC? who else reads our emails in and out? What is the data Protection of any detail 
of a member of public emailing us?
All this because we, the RAC Group, dared to ask questions. We cannot function properly 
as Councillors under this ridiculous and yes, stupid attempt to control use. Who’s stupid 
idea was it?
