Councillor Haworth freely distributes private correspondence from Director of Inclusive Design Ltd
about a resident in his Oakham ward.
The following private email sent to Cllr Charles Haworth was sent to Former Oakham Mayor Cllr Jim
Harrison who distributed it to Rutland County Council staff, Melton Borough Council staff and members
of the public.
Cllr Haworth was once an an employee of Melton Borough Council and Rutland County Council
The Cllr should resign what right does he have to distribute such personal information about residents
in his ward.
Is it also right for a Company Director to be sending a Town Councillor so much information to
a demented and vindictive Homophobic Town Councillor, (client confidentiality?)
(and poor Mr Begy) the final comment in the email, yes poor Mr Begy Conservative Leader of Rutland
County Council who had just been found guilty by Standards for England for misconduct against that
resident. but unlike the criminal courts they could not take into consideration the 16 previous complaints
about his disgusting conduct.
I wonder why the firm was interested in Cllr Haworth's Anti Semitic comments he posted
on the Rutland Chat Forum about that resident.
