Ken Jones took over the position of chief constable after Paul Whitehouse left disgraced by his handling of complaints as to procedural irregularity ending in the shooting and death of a civilian. Most recently the new Chief Constable has been giving evidence to the Morris Inquiry. We understand Mr Jones has received a number of complaints from the public concerning breaches of the Human Rights Act occasioned by the Wealden District Council working hand in hand with officers of Wealden D C. This is a new issue for the Police to come to terms with in addition to any complaint of harassment, deception or misuse of public funds It appears the Sussex Police may have been assisting Wealden's enforcement officers to evade their duty to ensure a fair hearing, they being required by law to substantiate the reasons for enforcement visits. It appears the Sussex Police may not have been aware of the requirements of Wealden's enforcement officers to provide detailed evidence as to their authorisation. Most Police forces are part funded by their local authorities. Because of this they should take special care not be seen to be acting to the detriment of the public. Should they do so they leave themselves open to criticism such as masonic ties, or other cosy relationships, normally only revealed by whistleblowers. However, the Police must act in accordance with the Police Act and Code of Conduct . It is their duty to protect the public and the peace. Not to do so constitutes a crime in itself as in R v Dytham and R v Bowden.
If you have experienced of or been witness to any untoward attention from Wealden District Council, why not contact the Chief Constable:-
