A RIGHT TO KNOW

According to Article 6: Every person is entitled to know the nature of the complaint against him, in detail.  Whereas Wealden's enforcement officers take a different view and apparently operates with immunity.

Local councillors appear to be content to let their officers run riot when it comes to observing the civil rights of the public.  There is no excuse for this.  Perverse behaviour, like the Monitoring Officer's refusal to comply with statute can only continue with the approval of members of their council.  It's a fact!  Hence, ultimately, the blame for continued misfeasance and the remedy lies with the members.  This council seem to have forgotten they have a monitoring officer and that he is obliged by law to report in any matter of injustice or maladministration.

The former leader of the council was the man duty bound to represent the people of Wealden and ensure the Council act lawfully.  We want William Wallaces to stand up and fight for fair play and justice.  We don't want a lot of faces posing for the press to enhance their careers and burden the ratepayer with expense claims, while saying nothing.  We believe Politicians should earn their keep.  All eyes are now on the new Leader of Wealden District Council to cut out the rot from the planning and legal departments.

Sadly, we can report that the present Leader, has dome little to change things.  The good news is that the present Leader may not survive another round, where the majority of the members want some action to take back control of the council.  For far too long Wealden has been an officer led authority.
