Spooner Row Message Board

I would like to know more about that. Who breached the email traffic? It implies R Foster? but not sure. Does this mean our confidential emails sent to Spooner Row Councillors were compromised?

No they haven't. This was an internal matter (....edited....)

Does the Council have a data protection procedure?

The minutes are signed off as accurate. Reading item 18b, I am annoyed that someone has possibly made security breaches with access to private emails. What is being done about this? 

This could be serious and a question of trust. The Data Protection Act is there for a reason. Is the councillor going to stay on the council?

This wasn't a security breach but a councillor (...edited....)

And why is this website editing posts of support for this councillor and why has a linked thread been deleted. What is that all about? 

(Dear Anon,

I am a Wattlefield resident and it appears to me that a witch-hunt is underway (...edited....)

An anonymous poster calling out an anonymous poster. This website never ceases to surprise me and the comment went unmoderated. 

Councillor Foster's comments about School Lane made under Public Participation (item 4) do not reflect the current situation: There is no longer a rear access within the development site for further housing as Variation 2022/0095 removed this when relocating plots 4 to 7. NCC Highways has expressed its grave concerns about further development to the back of the site, giving it a red status in the Village Clusters Site Assessment Document Dec 2022. Wymondham Town Council strongly objected to this development and did not want a public trod path built on the playing field for reasons such as maintenance, liability, and costs involved - the correspondence between Planning and WTC under Application 2016/0627 clearly shows this. A carpark extension was examined as an alternative to a trod path at WTC's Planning meeting on 17 Jan 2017 even though this would not have provided the extra pedestrian refuge required for walking on the highway.

For Stephen Ward's Statement read out under item 6, see https://spoonerrow.activeboard.com/t69246178/cllr-stephen-wards-statement-read-out-to-the-community-counc/

You would think. I read this on the web which sums up the election process, it doesn't account for the type of conduct described in the minutes

You cannot be a candidate if at the time of your nomination and on polling day: You are employed by the local authority or hold a paid office under the authority (including joint boards or committees) You hold a politically restricted post. You are the subject of a bankruptcy restrictions order or interim order 

It all depends on the number of votes only as to who becomes a councillor and nothing else.

The bar to being a councillor is also a sentence suspended or otherwise for 3 months but if the police for whatever reason decide not to take the matter to court then there is no reason why a person cannot re stand

Thank you Martyn 

That is correct a recent ruling from the courts said that SALE of council land HAS to be consulted upon with the electorate. It was silent on long term leases which was all I was trying establish. 

Leases do not change ownership

I am commenting on Minutes dated 13 July, Item 18 (above); Cllr John Morton describes anonymous postings on this message board as destructive. This site is moderated responsibly. It welcomes local discussion on any topic where anyone is welcome to post by using either their own name, a username, or anonymously.

This message board is independent of the Community Council and continues to support the Council as we are fortunate to have our own parish. This message board does not control the opinions or concerns of residents on what goes on locally as its purpose is a medium for dialogue, it does however delete abusive posts.

Item 8 shows the mentality of councillor Foster!!
