QUOTE (On the edge @ Dec 5 2014, 03:37 PM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) The loss of some fifty grand by failing to claim on the insurance as far ax I can see. Some 'clerical error'! Just wish my boss was so nice. Just a second, so the council should resign because an individual made a mistake? I could understand if the council were advised to make a claim but failed as a collective to do so. Like I said, what have the council done, not an individual, that should cause a mass resignation. Oh for some decent journalism to ask the bleedin obvious questions.

The Council say there was an independent report into whether or not someone did or didn't claim on the legal expenses insurance, and that the investigation ruled that it was "human error, nothing more" - but why can't we see that investigation? The Council are telling us there's "nothing to see, move along now", but they also told us that they couldn't publish the hydrogeological reports because of a "confidentiality agreement", so my experience tells me not to take on trust anything the Council says but always to seek independent confirmation. So let's see that independent investigation.

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

So let's see that independent investigation. Yes but it would be nice to know just who made the human error and why Councillors or officers did not notice this error a darn sight sooner? A statement such as it was "Human Error" informs the public of absolutely nothing and fails to give confidence, especially with the trail of gaffs this rabble have made in recent past history, that there are practices in place to prevent this happening continuously. Name the person, or persons more likely, who made the error and state why there was no checks and balances to catch errors such as one person being responsible. What responsibility are the rest of the council going to take for this "Human Error"? Why does everything this council gets involved with have to be carried out with a cloak of secrecy draped over it? Have they never heard the word transparency only vexatious? When asked if the investigation could be made public the Councillor replied "no no no yes" Talk about a farcical organisation the sooner we get rid of the lot of them the better!

Vexatious Candidate?
