Homophobic Oakham Town Council
Homophobic bigots Cllr Alf Dewis and Council Alf Dewis supported by Rutland County Council get the green light from Standards for England to continue their homophobic harassment and bullying.
Although I did notice an improvement in Cllr Dewis's behaviour at the last Town Council meeting I fear he will see this as a victory.
Cllr Dewis is a member of a police committee so no action was taken when I made a compliant of assault despite at least 3 other people being present no one saw anything
As for the vile evil Cllr Joyce Lucas she will continue to spread her nasty disgusting untrue statements against me.

Standards committee authority Rutland County Council
Allegation:
On 22nd April 2010, the assessment sub-committee of Rutland County Councils standards committee decided to refer the above allegation to Standards for England. It was received by Standards for England on 16 June 2010.
The allegation is summarised in the authority's decision notice.
Decision
When a standards committee refers an allegation to Standards for England, it must make one of three decisions.
refer the case to one of its ethical standards officers;
refer the allegation back to the standards committee of the relevant authority; or
take no further action.
Having carefully considered the information provided to it, Standards for England has decided, in accordance with section 58(2) of the local government act 2000, as amended, to take no further action.
Reason for decision
The matters in the allegation relate to an informal meeting which took place between the complainant and Councillors Lucas and Dewis. It is alleged that Councillors Lucas and Dewis accused the complainant of bringing the council into disrepute by posting photo of his birthday celebrations on a blog where he is identifiable as a councillor. The complainant has alleged that this is homophobic.
based on the evidence referred to Standards for England, it would be very unlikely that the actions, even proven, would amount to a breach of the Code of Conduct.
I have received a private email relating today's posts, questioning why I have not published details of the allegations against me. I have nothing to hide and as soon as I can I will publish full details.
All the allegations are from Oakham Town Councillor past and present and they have all been referred by Standards for England for further investigation.
So far seven complaints have been referred all relating to this blog and links on my facebook group.

Information about the complaints is considered confidential throughout the investigations, even after the investigation is completed there are restrictions on what can be published. It is my understanding I can not publish details of the complaints made by the complainants, they can if they wish. I think most people who follow my blog will know who they and their complaints.

Reason for decision
The complainant has alledged that the subject member has breached the Code by goading the complainant and speaking to him in an intimidating manner.
The alleged conduct occurred during the annaul general meeting of Rutland County Council, but both attended the meeting as "observers". Neither are members of the County Council, but both are members of Oakham Town Council.
There is no evidence that either the complainant or subject member were attending the County Council meeting in their capacity as members of the Town Council, or that by doing so they were acting, claiming or giving the impression of acting as members of the Town Council. I do not consider therefore that the code if conduct applies inrelation to the alledged behaviour of the subject member.
Furthermore, the complainant's letter refers to the subject member speaking to him in an "intimidating and childish manner", that he tried to "provoke" the complainant and that the subject member's behaviour was "harassing" the complainant. No further details are provided of the alleged conduct.
I do not consider that the code applies to the subject member's conduct, nor that any breach of the code is disclosed on behalf of the subject member.
I have decided to take no further action in relation to this allegation.

Standards for England investigations.
I have received a large quantity of letters from Standards of England.
It is very clear Rutland County Council have not handled any my complaints correctly.
This has given members the green light for them to continue.
It appear Rutland County Council left out important details such as dates of meetings and supporting details.
What a surprise!
All complaints from councillors and ex councillor and friends have been referred for further investigations.
I am pleased to see Rutland County Council has provided all the required information.
Although they sometimes refer to Mr Wright instead of Mr White.
There has been much local discussion, regarding the cost of these investigations the people making the complaints are happy for the public to believe I have raised all the complaints and I am wasting a lot of peoples time and money.
I hope standards for England will recognise the reason for these complaints made against me are malicious and have mainly arisen because the complainants support the members who resigned when I was elected.
I am not sure what they feel they can achieve, the internet activities have suggested the stocks extra hole should be used. Fortunately Standards for England don't have those powers.
I have noticed their friends have started to remove hate content from facebook. I can only assume this is to help their cause.
I find it very frustrating this often happens after I have spoken to Richard White, who tells me he does not know the people. It is clear that in this case he knows people who post this rubbish.
Of course ex Cllr Mr Harrison is such a bully, he has no fear admitting he is responsible for his blog and content. He posts suggesting I am a risk to children. He is a nasty vile man. (another complaint to standards on it way?)
The list of complaints from Councillors and ex Councillors is huge.
If correctly investigated by Standards for England this will take up hours of my time and others. Time I am not sure I am willing to give.
I have already given up a huge amount of my time sitting at the table in the council chamber being ignored as is clearly now shown within last weeks minutes amendments. Although the last meeting things slightly improved it is clear it was hard for some members of this dysfunctional council to follow correct procedure.
I will be posting the findings of my complaints and let the public read and make up their own minds.

This is harassment posted on facebook
as part of rant by Ian Burton about me:
You continually prey on the elderly, the sick, young mothers,
anyone you can complain and whinge about.
I declare you are the BULLY
If you dont like Rutland its simple --- leave.
No-one here will pay you a single penny ever.
and then
David Burton He scrounges everything doesn't he,
hope the new government will clamp down on parasites like him
I dont know these people but they think they know so much about me, if this is a typical rutlander then it is shit, but fortunately, I know this bunch is a very small element of Rutland and most are good people like the friend who brought me some free food around night to help me out. I did not ask so that does not make me a sponger.
This is also some serious harassment posted by Former Mayor and Councillor Jim Harrison
CRB Check This Councillor
How can it be right that an Oakham Town Councillor puts on display pornographic images in an official Oakham Town Council notice board, is subsequently arrested and is then seen taking photographs at Royce Playing fields where there are children present when the new equipment was officially opened. Should a man who obviously has a penchant for displaying pornographic images on a public notice board be allowed anywhere near children? I THINK NOT! As a councillor he may be visiting other establishments where there are children present AND THAT CANNOT BE RIGHT. Perhaps he ought to undergo a CRB check before being allowed anywhere near children again. He certainly needs to be watched very closely.

Dear Sir/Madam
Since I have been using google alerts to notify me of postings made about me anywhere on the internet, I am very concerned about the post made by Ian Burton on various locations on Facebook.
Information contained in this post relates to my home and private information that could only have been released to Mr Burton by a Rutland County Council employee and Job Centre Plus Staff.
Mr Burton publishes details about my home such a details of the service charge.
Mr Burton publishes I am in receipt of Council Tax and JSA
I would like these serious breaches of privacy investigated.
I do not know Mr Burton, a local has told me he is connected to Berridges Taxi's along with David Burton who also posts information about me.
From visiting facebook I can see Mr Ian Burtons daughter is Angela Burton (Married to Mr Wells) she is employed by Job Centre Plus. either at Leicester, Melton or Stamford.
I am hoping Mr Grayling minister responsible for Job Centre plus will ask Job Centre plus to investigate this possible breach of confidentiality by Mrs Angela Burton, relating to my income.
To follow procedure, I wish to make this a formal complaint because of the serious nature it is being copied to the local government ombudsman for advice.
It is clear from looking at the facebook contacts of these people they have links to Oakham Town Cllrs and Ex Cllrs.
The manner and content of comments resemble the Rutland Chat forum.
These people behave in a cowardly and appalling manner and it is clear now they are supported by RCC. due to the leak of information relating to my home.
From
Cllr Martin Brookes

See more serve, he complains about anything and everything like a bloody fishwife! He pallys up to folks then backstabs them supports them in public and slags them off on his internet diarrhoea.
He doing a repeat performance. Suing Rutland is his aim.
People of Oakham, this bloke is costing us taxpayers of RUTLAND every day, wasting police, council local and county, wasting everyones times the MP to the local press.
Someone give him a pinny and a mop and let him clean the Oakham lavs.

So far I have recieved a response automated from Cllr Rodgers, she is responsible for planning one of the worse performing departments at RCC. I guessing this is not March 2011! am I the only person who questions what is wrong with these Cllrs. I am awaiting Cllr Wainwrights normal response don't contact me. They seem to forget there role is to serve and assist the public. I expect no reply from Cllr Lovell a very good friend of Oakham Town Councillors past and present. He told me I should not stand in his ward because I don't reside there what a silly Councillor most Councillors at RCC don't live in their wards, so why should it matter if a Town Cllr does not. I guess it matters when your friends are Tyers, Kelly and Beech to name a few.
Reply recieved from Cllr Janine Rodger, Cabinet Member.
I am on family business until 29th March but am fully contactable on my blackberry or mobile 07702844890 Thanks Janine

Dear Sir/Madam
Since I have been using google alerts to notify me of postings made about me anywhere on the internet, I am very concerned about the post made by Ian Burton on various locations on Facebook.
Information contained in this post relates to my home and private information that could only have been released to Mr Burton by a Rutland County Council employee and Job Centre Plus Staff.
Mr Burton publishes details about my home such a details of the service charge.
Mr Burton publishes I am in receipt of Council Tax and JSA
I would like these serious breaches of privacy investigated.
I do not know Mr Burton, a local has told me he is connected to Berridges Taxi's along with David Burton who also posts information about me.
From visiting facebook I can see Mr Ian Burtons daughter is Angela Burton (Married to Mr Wells) she is employed by Job Centre Plus. either at Leicester, Melton or Stamford.
I am hoping Mr Grayling minister responsible for Job Centre plus will ask Job Centre plus to investigate this possible breach of confidentiality by Mrs Angela Burton, relating to my income.
To follow procedure, I wish to make this a formal complaint because of the serious nature it is being copied to the local government ombudsman for advice.
It is clear from looking at the facebook contacts of these people they have links to Oakham Town Cllrs and Ex Cllrs.
The manner and content of comments resemble the Rutland Chat forum.
These people behave in a cowardly and appalling manner and it is clear now they are supported by RCC. due to the leak of information relating to my home.
From
Cllr Martin Brookes

Martin Brookes still wasting tax payers money, did you see the report in RT this week about the number of complaints, and its all costing US.

Rutland Hippos
If you live here in Oakham you are not allowed to have a opinion!
If you show the slightest signs you might be critical they certainly let you know.
I will repeat the educational value of the hippo project was valuable for the school children.
The cost of nearly a £1000 per hippo is far to high and the chairman of the festival admitted they did not raise enough sponsorship. I would suggest the tax payer is out of pocket, yes Arts Council Money is tax payers money.
I am no longer bothered about this small group of people and will publish any insult posted or received, Google Alerts is a very handy tool it even gives users access to locked facebook posts.
Interestingly this small group of local people made up of Cllrs and Ex Cllrs and friends think they speak for the whole of Oakham. Sadly they don't many of the other residents would probably use more intelligent words to describe me, moron is a new one this week.

Jonny Rudd Do the Hippo trail, ignore the moron Martin Brookes as a Councillor he should support, not attempt to crush local events.

Oakham Festival Comedy at the Merry Monk
I was looking forward to the comedy at the Merry Monk it was highly recommended on facebook by Mr Rudd, Strangely I was not the only person to be disappointed as the act was heckled off the stage.
I am sure Mr Rudd was disappointed, I cant image which Councillor he was referring to, although looking and his friends postings it would not be hard to guess.
Posted on Festival Face Book Group
Jonny Rudd There should be plenty of hilarious skits from the local lone councillor, and his weird and wonderous outlandish unfounded accusation against locals.

Despite the hype the festival gets worse each year. The highlight of the evening was when I entered seeing how rude my fellow committee members are, I was wondering if Joyce Everett could tell members it is very rude to point and to talk about people when they are present. The woman in the black t-shirt being the biggest offender. The behaviour of these people reminded me of Cllr Joyce Lucas.
