UKIP Rutland County Councillors, Report Council To Police For Planning Fraud, Leicestershire Police Incident Ref 472



UKIP Cllrs Gale, Richardson and Wainwright declared an interest at this evenings full council
meeting. Cllr Gale the UKIP leader said he would not be remaining in the room at the point of
the meeting when councillors were considering the Site Allocations & Policies Development Plan Document due to criminal activities associated to the document.

Both Cllrs Richardson and Wainwright declared the same interest.

The Councillors departed and the document was considered.

After some members had spoken Cllr Gene Plews raised the issue of the police investigation and
quoted the incident number 472. It's good to see the apparent cosy relationship between council
and police still exists, Surely that information is protected by data protection? An act the local
police enforce when it appears to suit them.

At this point the monitoring officer read out a prepared statement,

The council denies the allegation and claims they are made up like all the past allegations.

Later in the meeting Cllr Poppycock asked when will the statement be read out in front
of the UKIP members? so they can apologise.

The allegation relates to agreements and sales made between the council, Bellway Homes
and Tresham College.
