Cllr Charles Haworth, Oakham Town Councillor Organised Standards Complaints.
Even before I had signed my papers to become a Councillor the crazy Councillor Haworth was organising
and preparing standards complaints for other members of the council and Melton Borough Council staff.
He went onto instruct them on how they should reply to the monitoring officer.
He also denied councillor training, something to this day Oakham Town Councillor don't take up.
Of course the current Mayor Adam Lowe took up one session at the beginning of his term and
promptly told me he had learnt he is public figure and if people wanted to photograph him that was
fine!
In this email Cllr Haworth sent very clear instructions to Three former Oakham Mayors and a Councillor.
The Former Mayor who stripped in public street after a early morning drink Sue Tyers. Jim filmed her and others.
Former Mayor Jim Harrison
Former Mayor Paul Beech
Former Cllr Alan Kelly
Interesting to read Geoff Pook's email he appears to have some credibility when I first became
a councillor

Dear Mr Pook
Thank you for your correspondence. I regret to say, after careful consideration, that I do not feel it would be appropriate to participate in any form, or combination, of mediation, conciliation with Cllr Brookes. Nor do I think he would benefit from any training.
It is quite clear to me that there is a very urgent need for the Standards Board to fully investigate Cllr Brookes' behaviour in office and his conduct towards other elected members, OTC employees and members of the public. I am sure you will understand this.
Kind Regards
Charles Haworth

Hello Charles.
The Assessment Sub-Committee yesterday considered your complaints.
As I believe you are aware, there are multiple complaints relating to Oakham Town Councillors in the system at present. Looking at the overall picture, the Sub-Committee is of the opinion that the primary public interest lies in all those concerned reaching a working relationship which will provide a sound foundation for the Town Council to move forward with its business. Members believe that this applies to those parties who are not currently councillors to much the same extent as it applies to serving members. A healthy democratic body needs differences of views on issues which come before it, but it does seem that too many peripheral matters are dominating the life of the Town Council.
The Sub-Committee has adjourned its consideration in order that I might ask all the complainants and subject members if they would be prepared to participate in some form, or combination, of mediation, conciliation or training. It would be preferable if such "other action" was engaged in jointly by all parties, although action involving only some of the parties could be considered.
I must emphasise that no decisions have been made yet. If the Sub-Committee does decide eventually to refer any of the complaints for action other than formal investigation, that would not imply a belief that there has or has not been a breach of the Code, but it would be the sole route that the complaint would take: the matter could not be referred for investigation subsequently.
I should be grateful if you would give this matter careful consideration and let me know whether you would be willing to participate. It would help if you could respond by 5.00 pm on Tuesday 20 April, but please advise me if you feel that you need more time.
Regards
Geoff
