censorship by Rutland County Council Joscelyne Court hearing
Below is another example of censorship by Rutland County Council!
The female member of the public received this e-mail from Mr Brown who was head of highways, who has now been promoted to head bully, sorry head of operations at Rutland County Council, whatever that means?
(Rutland County County Councils Chief Executive Helen Briggs would like the public to believe she has streamlined the council, by only having three directors. If you dig into the Council web site you will find a whole list of assistant directors and heads?)
The member of public chose to publicise her court case relate to non payment of Council Tax.
Non payment of Council Tax is a criminal offence and cases are heard at Magistrates Courts and are open to the public and therefore it is likely details of cases could be published in the press.
The member of the public has done nothing wrong by commenting on-line.
This is clearly another case of Rutland County Council attempting censorship!
The member of the public is now writing to the court to obtain a copy of the transcript from the court.

Jeakins Weir Planning Appeal, Uppingham Road Oakham, Rutland County Council,
Re Jeakins Weir Planning Appeal
If you wrote to Rutland County Council expressing your views to the Jeakins Weir application to build on land to the West of Uppingham Road, Oakham,
You may be interested to know on Tuesday 8 February the council rejected their application, but due to the fact that the application had not been heard within a 13 week period, Jeakins Weir has appealed.
The appeal hearing by the Planning Inspector will be held at the Council offices over four days from the 24 - 27 May.
Judy Geer from Oakham Action asks:
If you are able to attend at any time during these dates (either for a morning or an afternoon) please contact Judy Geer judy@oakhamaction.co.uk ) and she will draw up a rota to ensure we have supporters throughout the hearing.
In addition and as important she would ask you to write in a personal capacity to the Planning Inspectorate, prior to the appeal hearing, making any additional objections you may have regarding the Jeakins Weir proposal. . The deadline for these objections is the 22nd February 2011 and they can be sent quoting the appeal reference APP/A2470/A/10/2143475/NWF either
a) By Email using the online appeals service at www.planningportal.gov.uk/pcs and completing the straightforward form provided or
b) By letter, three copies of which should be sent to The Planning Inspectorate, 3/02 Kite Wing, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN
Some objection points you may wish to raise in addition to those objections already sent in are:
The fact that the Hawksmead Development has now been approved and therefore the 5-year housing supply requirement is secured.
That RAF Cottesmore and Ashwell Prison will now play a part in the future development plans for Rutland and Oakham by providing potential brownfield sites.
That building houses on this greenfield site would destroy a beautiful area of Oakham forever.
Any other objections that you did not use.
