During
an amicable conversation, the Clerk and I assured one another that there were
no personal difficulties between the two of us.
Her problem is the fantasist Chairman.
Strelczenie arrived last night in a foul mood. His first words to the Parish Clerk were “He’s recording you!” He lives in a fantasy world. The Clerk didn’t need to check my phone to confirm he was imagining things again! She knew I wasn't recording her.
Strelczenie appears to be paranoid about being recorded. Perhaps he hasn't forgotten the ten residents who reported him to Selby District Council when he admitted, as Chairman, he had lied to residents about a number of issues at the time of the Sewerage Works Planning Application. I must dig up the archives.
The
Clerk was willing to help me overcome my speech disability so my ‘voice’ would
be heard and understood by the Council. She
was concerned my request for her to read aloud my statement in the Council’s ‘Parishioners
Forum: 15 Minute Session (Extendable by agreement of the Council)’ “put her in
a difficult position” in relation to the Chairman. It is the bullying Chairman who puts her in a difficult position.
She
agreed to help when I said Hemingbrough Parish Council might become the first
Council in Britain to become known for its continued unwillingness to help a
resident with a well-known disability.
For
the second month running, Strelczenie would not let the supposedly independent Clerk
read out my statement.
Ken
McCann stepped up and offered to read it for me. He’s not afraid of the
Chairman.
Hemingbrough
Parish Council is the first tier of Government in England. Its record in 2017 has not been a good one.
Our
Westminster MP Nigel Adams has viewed links to YouTube videos featuring
bullying tactics at Hemingbrough, and regards what he has seen as “Nasty”,
The
Council’s accounts for 2016-2017 have been challenged over a seven-year rolling
contract with its largest contractor, and for building financial reserves “for
the acquisition of Memorial Garden and ongoing maintenance costs” without a
Council Resolution to do so,
A Council
‘Risk Management’ regime did not underpin a Resolution to transfer assets and
financial risks of a private group to the Public Purse,
Councillors
never identified the local archive of plans and specifications needed for a
Risk Management assessment of the potentially costly transfer of assets from a
private group,
The Clerk’s
willing agreement to ensure my well-known speech disability did not stop my
voice being heard by Councillors and the public at the Parishioners’ Forum in
July 2017 was countermanded by the Chairman,
Two
residents were falsely accused in public of interrupting Council proceedings in
July 2017 and trying to lay the blame on two Selby District Councillors,
And the
Selby District Council Monitoring Officer, following initial assessment, has
appointed ‘CH&I Associates’ to
conduct an independent investigation of a complaint about conduct at
Hemingbrough.
Hemingbrough
Residents deserve better!
No wonder
Strelczenie didn’t want residents to hear the dreadful state of our Parish
Council under his bullying, so-called leadership.
The evening went downhill from there’ believe it, or not. (To be continued)
