Mr Guy Goodman Rutland County Council My correspondence was marked confidential and you should respect this.

Dear Mr Goodman

Perhaps you, Oakham Town Council and Rutland Council should respect me and stop
harassing me as has been the case over the last 7 years + for simply attempting to do
my job as a Councillor.

A comment in the 2015 - 2016 Audit report made by Grant Thorton points out the councils
failing to accept that Councillors are expected to ask questions and sometimes question the
council may not want to hear and that is what the voters expect of their Councillors. Unfortunately
Oakham Town Council or Rutland County Council do not accept this and spend millions
on attempting to shut up those who ask questions.

This investigation so soon after the last one which cost £13,000 proves the political motivation
of both council as neither have taken any action in respect to other members appalling conduct.

Please could you let me know how much you are being paid by the Rutland Taxpayers for this
current investigation or do I have to wait for the bill to appear on Rutland County Councils
website?

As for respecting your request to acknowledge your marking of communications Private and Confidential, I could point you to case law and examples of incidents where emails sent or received
by Cllrs and marked in this way are not considered private and confidential. As a person who is
working in elements of data protection and has worked for local authorities, I am sure you would have knowledge of this.

I repeat my previous comment about Rutland County Councils website where you will find
documents relating to my alleged conduct. reports published containing my name all marked
private and confidential.

I have no problem with you putting in the public domain that you are under investigation and the reasons for this. However, there should not be a running commentary on an investigation. My correspondence was marked confidential and you should respect this.

It is hard to believe Rutland Tax Payers are paying for this standard of correspondence.
I am no expert when it comes to writing, I would expect better from a nice man who
has worked in the legal profession for many years.
I know Rutland County Council has very poor standards but surely communications
that make sense is important

Thanks for your response which I will read with great care of the following weeks.

I will come back to you after I have done this to arrange an interview with you either face-to-face or over the telephone.

Dear Mr Goodman I would like to dispute your independent claim

Dear Mr Goodman

I would like to dispute your independent claim

I think You have worked for Councils etc as a solicitor and as a monitoring officer and held some high profile positions within the legal profession.

I think you also held a position with Leicestershire and Rutland Fire Authority a position you may have held for many years.

One of our town Councillors is employed by Leicestershire and Rutland Fire Authority and he is also a friend of a former Mayor who gives me a lot of grief and I assume you would know Cllr Vince Howard.

I admire what might be your Twitter profile "The Raving Solicitor - a Passion for trance and Storm(in') hard dance - bring it on!"

I have not given you permission to publish my correspondence with you on your blog.

Please take it down immediately

Thank you

Dear Mr Goodman

Please find amended reply the first was typed on my mobile not the best way to get thongs across correctly.

It is my choice to publish all conduct matters.

This is mainly due to Rutland County Council choosing to publish just reports about me online including my name and not other cllrs.

If you were to inspect their website and past site entries, you find in just my my case they publish report including my full name

All other Cllrs have enjoyed the privilege of having their names withheld over the years.

Most recently at the bottom of their page titled Complaints members you will find the latest example of how unfairly Rutland County

Council treat me. You will not find any other monitoring officers finding on any other councillor.

On the same page there is a list of complaint conditions that have to met before the monitoring officer will consider any complaint

Over the years I would say all the complaints against me have been politically motivated. there have been many hundreds with a

tiny few upheld and 3 overturned on appeal in the high court.

rutland.gov.uk/council_and_democracy/councillors_and_democracy/complaints_members.aspx

Oakham town council have also posted defamatory letters in the office window and notice boards all over the town.

My solicitor and the district judge said at the 2013 court case I can publish publish anything relating to this ongoing case. And I say why not the public are paying for it

Please don't tell tell me not to publish.

It was no clear if your mobile number is personal, so I have not published that.

Your email address and name is in the public domain it is first mentioned around 2012.

Whilst you were employed by Leicestershire City Council and Leicestershire and Rutland Fire Authority, the reason for

me questioning your independent claim because in both roles it is highly likely you would have had contact with Rutland

County Council.

If you don't want anyone such as your new employers Avon and Fire and Rescue to see your correspondence on my blog, then I suggest you don't write to me.

If you still believe I should not be publishing correspondence paid for by the public, may I suggest you raise a conduct report with the monitoring officer . although I am confident there is nothing in the code of conduct that prevents me from sharing any correspondence addressed to me in any manner I chose.

Kind regards

Martin
