Inspector Monks is the police commander of Rutland.

He likes to be known as Johnny Monks, I think that is one of his first mistakes, immediately he looses that element of respect afforded to his role.

I often remember to talking to my father about school and referring to my teacher, I said Geoff told me…. My Father asked who is Geoff, I replied my teacher, my father was angry and hit me and I think this is when dumbing down started. I was 13 and could not understand my fathers anger at why my teacher did not want to be known as Mr or Sir. I guess you can say I rebelled and very frequently am I address by my surname.

Many readers may not know Inspector Monks produces a monthly news letter, in his letter he promotes the good work of Rutland’s Police.

He says the main focus of his policing team is keeping Rutland a safe place to work and live.

He says we have a low amount of crime and anti social behaviour.

This not what people are telling me who live in around my ward. Many people just don’t bother reporting incidents due to lack of interest from Oakham Police.

If you live in the path of a local pub, like residents in Finkey Street, you may have fitted a security door to the front of your home because you are fed up repairing your wooden front door.

Cold Overton Road residents suffer the same it could be your pot plants are smashed, you door kicked or a large amount of litter in the streets or gardens.

If you live around Royce Recreation Ground where do I start? Fires, Litter, damage to property and noise (at this weeks council meeting we are expected to approve the purchase of a replacement piece of play equipment after the new swing has been broken twice £14,500 is the quote!)
Residents often write to Oakham Town Council complaining about Anti Social Behaviour. Although this area is the ward I serve, I am never copied those letters.

After the recent installation of play equipment, one letter was read out at a council meeting, with the name and address removed. Although other Councillor knew the name I was not told, the author highlighted concerns.

The entire council including the other two ward councillors, Lucas and Haworth rejected the complaint and patronised the author by saying they always complain and should not live near recreation ground. Not everyone is fortunate to live in the more affluent areas of Oakham as is the case of many councillors. I suggest we relocate Royce Recreation and all its young people into their neighbourhood.

Inspector Monks reports up to 1st April we have had thirteen burglaries seven less than the previous year. There was a 50% reduction in anti social behaviour.

The force had given £2,500 to local worthy causes and charities, The proceeds of crime act 2002 allows the police to take money from criminals and give it to charities.

I think Inspector Monks is living in a cloud, he needs to come down to earth. I suggest people are not reporting crime because of apathy. My own experienceof the local force is one of we can’t be bothered.

I am especially pleased Mr Hibbert has gone, he was employed as a civilian and posted to the front desk at Oakham Police Station. He often told the public he was a real police officer he forgot to mention he was retired an no longer a serving officer.

Officers often said to me don’t show me the letter or the photograph because I will have to complete a statement. Is that not what one hopes would happen when you visit a police station?

Leicestershire police have a record of not listening to people it stretches back many years.

Most recently the tragic case of the mother who was so taunted she killed herself and her daughter.

Then there was the complaints about Frank Beck who worked for Leicestershire Social Services, he nearly slipped through the net until he moved to Hertfordshire Social Services. People often complained about him this included my own brother who Mr Frank taught to drive whilst preying on him.

Repeated complaints did pay off in the end and Beck was convicted, many other members of the etablishment got away with the help of Leicestershire and Hertfordshire police.

Hertfordshire Police are in my view the same as Leicestershire.

It was good to see Hertfordshire police finally listened to a mother and a Letchworth man has been sent to prison for sending obscene text messages teenage to her teenage daughter. If the mother had not persistently complained this man would have continued.

They keep telling us the police have changed, they never change. The glossy adverts and brochures have changed.

I made a complaint to the IPC and guess what they now ask the same police force to investigate themsleves!
So not much chance of anything ever being resolved here in Oakham.

I dont think the police have every changed they will always support the establishment. It reminds me of one of my early memories of the police not handling things correctly the time a caretaker at Icknield School in Letchworth used to check school records and find mothers telephone numbers and call them for self gratification this was before 0898 numbers when you could dial a disc on 16 for the cost of a local call, no premium rate then. Dozens of mothers complained at Letchworth police station including my own mother before they took action almost a year later, it was rumoured the police only took action because the police sergeants wife became a victim, Back then it was very easy the police to trace callers. The police I feel took no action because North Hertfordshire District Council did not want the police to take any action for fear of adverse publicity.

So in conclusion if you want change just keep complaining, don’t give up, the three clowns from Oakham Town Council, who sit on police committees not going to help bring change because they are not interested in receiving your input.

They are so happy with their involvement with the police Cllr Dewis arranged for their permanent unelected membership of the committee.



Referring to Cllr Alf Dewis in a recent blog, I published he was sacked by Rutland County Council along with another member of staff after a tribunal found in favour of a member of staff who was sacked whilst of sick.

Cllr Alf Dewis did not approach me for a correction instead he raised a complaint with the standards committee.

I have checked Cllr Alf Dewis was not sacked he resigned before he could be sacked.

I am not sure why he sees this as a matter for standards for England to Investigate.

My publication suggesting he was sacked could not do him any harm because his Consultancy Company has been dissolved, his customers made up their own minds before I published anything.

It is very interesting he has not complained about my publications about his bullying.

Councillors like proof. I found a site Alf used to display photographs of me that had been photoshopped, all part of his fun group of Councillors present and past and their friends.

The bully has thankfully deleted the comments and images.

I have registered my details with Google and they send me e-mail notification of any internet posting made about me. It is a wonderful tool will and certainly help in any harassment case. the behaviour conducted by Councillors and their mates is unacceptable, I would prefer they just grew up and stopped!

Here is one Google example.

Cllr Dewis should really consider resigning he is clearly helping to bring Oakham Town Council into direpute.

I suggest too the police the photo shop experts like Dewis and Harrison are responsible for the disgusting images sent to me via email and the post.

Oakham Town Council Substantial governance dysfuntion

I finally received information


regarding two complaints made against me
Well done Rutland County Council.


They are related to my blog and face book both my private internet activities.

After Recieving complaints from former Councillor Jim Harrison .
and Councillor Charles Haworth.

Considering Mr Haworths Complaint:The Sub-Committee decided there could be a possible breach of the code of conduct

Treating others with respect-paragraph 3(1)

Frankley this is a joke. I have never been treated with any respect by Mr Haworth or any of his mates.
The Standards Committee then go onto say:

This case taken together with other assessed cases involving many members of Oakham Town Council indicates an inter-relatonship of cases so serious or complex that they could not be handled locally; investigating the complaints requires substantial amounts of evidence beyond that available from the authority's documents, its members or officers; There is substantial governance dysfunction in the authority.

The complaint has been refered to Standard For England

The Complaint made by ex Cllr Jim Harrison

This I find most annoying I made a complaint long before Mr Harrsons and have never been told the outcome.

The complaint has also been passed to Standards to England.

One of the complaints relates to my complaint, he complains I published details about the images he provided to the Rutland Chat Forum.

Even though he said sorry after, I traced the images to his photobucket account. If he was still a councillor I would be complaining about his current blog about me Jims Tea Break and its defamatory content. The nasty thug suggest I am a danger to young people. Standards for England will take his blog as evidence.


Two of my complaints have been refered to Standards for England.

The committee suggests councillor Alf Dewis may have breach the following code of conduct.

Treating others with respect - paragraph 3(1)
Bulling any person - paragraph 3(2)9b)


Pity it does not say homophobic bullying.

The Commitee refers my complaint against Cllr Joyce Lucas for the same reasons

I await the outcome of my complaints I made last year.

Cllr Martin Brookes

Oakham Town Council Four New Complaints

I have just been notified another four complaints against OTC are being sent Standards Committee.


These complaints are being raised by a member of the public who has observed meetings for sometime now and raises issues relating to incorrect procedure and behaviour of members.

this person also wrote to Oakham Town Council some time ago to complain about The Town clerk Richard White. They told me the Council has not responded to that letter.

I Also wrote a letter to the council complaining about the Town Clerk, this was also ignored.

I also wrote and complained about the bullying I am subjected to from Cllr Dewis this letter was ignored

I complained to The Standards Committee about The Town Clerk and the monitoring officer said Oakham town council were responsible for him.

Mr White seems to be immuned from complaint and shouts bully if you blog. I suggest he gets on with his overpaid job and maybe gets on with some learning stop giving wrong advice to the public and myself.

Oakham Town Council clearly only abides by laws that suit them. Example last staffing meeting only two clear working days notice was posted.

This club known as Oakham Town Council needs sorting urgently!

It needs to get on with serving and stop supporting the ex councillors and the mob up the road. ex Cllr Jim Harrison is suported, this vile man posts, I am a danger to young people totally unfounded and I am sure he fully understand the likely result of his actions. Twice in the past 7 days I have been called a peodo by local youths and all the police can say is write to him!

Oakham Town Council needs to sort out the long term absence. Two seats could be filled by active people who want to serve. Of course the bullies like Cllr Dewis and Cllr Haworth are happy the seats are inactive because they cant be stopped in there tracks.

Cllr Dewis is happy to ignore notice served on him and is happy to push me around knowing he wont be charged by the local police.

3rd June Staffing committee meeting Oakham Town Council

3rd June Staffing committee meeting Oakham Town Council


The notice for this meeting was posted and dated Saturday it did not give 3 clear working days notice. It is clear to me Oakham Town Council feel no laws apply to them. I have also pointed out the meetings are held on licensed premises, they ignore this and suggest a premises licence held by Victoria Hall only covers part of the building. A premises licence covers a whole building hence the name of the licence.

At this meeting the Vice Chair was elected Cllr Maureen Dodds often referred to as the f*t duchess by other members.

Cllr Alf Dewis was elected chair at the previous meeting.

For some strange reason Mr Dewis was in a great hurry to start the meeting so much so he attempted to conduct the meeting without the clerk present. This shows the Town Council members including myself have received no training. Rutland County Council don’t want the public to know or any other matter relating to Oakham Town Council. Yesterday they threatened to ban my access to the internet from Rutland Libraries. If they sorted the parish council out they would not have to worry about how the town looked from my blog. As member of the public said last week the Town Council is a farce an expensive farce. I have made other arrangements to post the content of my blog.

Cllr Alf Dewis then went onto exclude the public and press no act was quoted.

At the same time at another location Rutland County Council were holding a Standards Committee meeting, It was reported back to me, Rutland County Council had stuck to the rules and quoted the correct act and Cllr King had requested the public should only be excluded if it was essential, the public said they were treated with the utmost respect at the standards committee meeting. I think members like Cllr Alf Dewis should attend some meetings at RCC to see how they are conducted correctly.

Cllr Dewis forgot he had placed two points on his agenda; the second point was to exclude Councillors who are not members of his committee.

I was shown no respect. Mr Dewis called for the vote Cllr Sharon Spencer abstained and Cllr Woodcock voted against my exclusion. Cllr Maureen Dodds, Cllr Charles Hawoth and of course the ever charming bully Cllr Alf Dewis voted to kick me out.

Legally they had no right to exclude me from the meeting and no act to quote. So I refused to leave.

He called the police to arrange my removal, three police men were sent! The police made it very clear the Town Council had contacted them earlier to arrange my removal. Inspector Monks had told police if the chairman wants me out then its ok for them to ask a Councillor to leave the chamber.

The police misused the breach of the peace act. I was told if I did not leave they would arrest me for breach of the peace.

I departed and was asked not to return to the council chamber, if I did I would be arrested and taken to Leicester and it was along walk back to Oakham! The police certainly know how to enforce the law.

I am looking forward to seeing the police at the next council meeting or will it be at the County Show this Sunday like last year.

I thought we lived in a democratic country and the police are independent from politics, this is certainly not the case here in Oakham Rutland.

Cllr Alf Dewis and Cllr Joyce Lucas sit on local police committee now that’s a surprise!

The three police officers sent To Oakham Town Council Chamber to remove a Councillor

Cllr Alf Dewis Rushes off in his car after the meeting at 9pm

like many members he is very consience of the envioronment

and drives less than a mile home.

Cllr Charles Haworth leaving the meeting no he is not

calling over calling me a F*wit

He was shouting no photograph tonight
