Helen,

According to Mr Brookes latest campaign blog I have apparently nicked something?

I forwarded this onto Geoff Pook asking if this is acceptable to go forwards as standards
complaint against Mr Brookes along with all the others.

I will also be seeking legal advice from both My Solicitors Spearing Waite, and Bray and Bray in Leicester
on Tuesday morning.

Thanks Gene.

Gene

Thank you for this I am sure Geoff will advise when he gets back into the office as will you solicitor.

Mr Brookes is not yet a councillor so I am not sure wether the standards board will consider,

If you are concerned re a breach of election rules the appropriate route is to the police.
