Local Brus Ward Election

Sunday 2nd May 2011.



A quick update of my  activities of late and my apologies, if anyone is interested , of my lack of blogging  recently due to illness.

I am currently recovering from a another attack of what I can only call Gouty Arthritis, very painful, which , in addition to my other cocktail of health problems,  have kept me housebound and in fact bed bound for over five weeks recently, unfortunately my wife also suffers with a walking problem, so much so that we have purchased a  wheelchair for her and a Electric Mobility Scooter for myself, I did  intend to buy from E-Bay a name plate for the Electric Scooter,  but I was a little disappointed to note that my preferred choice of “codhead” was seen in town and obviously already taken by another I assume,   old Hartlepudlian,

I’m thinking of trying  for “fishface “ which my wife says it’s a  fair description for an ageing old fart and a  ex-pupil  of Galley’s Field Secondary  Modern  (aka. The Eton of the North )  you don’t get an education like that these days, ( left 1946 ) .

 To-Day, I received my first  BRUS WARD Local Council Election leaflet, entitled
“ITS TIME FOR CHANGE “, Michelle Anne Plant.  which is exactly what very many of the honest citizens of Hartlepool have been shouting  about for some considerable time, on the “ONLY” site that their views can be  read,
I won’t bore you with the intricate details ,feel free to go and have a look for yourselves:  a site well worth a visit.

Needless to say, I personally cannot support  anyone seeking re-election and claiming to be your “committed” local Independent candidate , what as she achieved  to-date, NOTHING-- she also says she will resolve all residents issues  who contact  her,  this statement  IS COMPLETE AND UTTER RUBBISH ,  a political lie, whether you agree with me is a matter of choice,

I have had a personal experience in submitting my “one “ and  “only”  complaint  to Councillor Michelle Anne Plant,  she did visit our home once,  and after viewing the neighbours extension built without planning permission and physically attached to our wash-house back wall, stated after inspecting our Land Title Property Deeds that it was clear that we where the owners of the property in dispute, and quoted  “ I am on the Planning Committee and I will see to it that that extension built without Planning Permission will be demolished? Still waiting after two years +.

Not only was it not demolished but  was given retrospective planning permission by the unelected Planning Officer Richard Trow without going before the Planning Committee , so much for Democracy in Hartlepool,  and highlights the usefulness and  effectiveness  of Councillor Michelle Anne Plant on the Planning Committee. Unforgivable conduct.

She did send me a  couple of e-mails later,  which were meaningless, recommending that I take my complaint to the Ombudsman or the Civil Courts,?
