Freedom of Information Request to Hartlepool Council.

Freedom of Information Requests,                   Saturday 6thAugust 2011          
Documentary Planning Records
Dear Freedom of Information Officer,

  A  recent report  available in an  edition of  “Private Eye” ( No.1294.)  highlighted  in “Rotten  Boroughs”  stated that some Council Officials destroyed all Controversial planning decisions,  because of “lack of storage space“ , an act
a local government ombudsman called “an  extraordinary and inexcusable act of maladministration “ it was further stated that  “all” Councils have a Statutory Duty to Retain all “Planning Documentary Records “

1.(a)
In the light of the above report, can Hartlepool Borough Council, Confirm that they “Do” abide by their Statutory Duties and retain “All” Planning Documentary Records, both initial planning and controversial applications.
And if Not, Why Not.

2.(b)
In view of the Statutory Duties imposed on Hartlepool Borough Council to Retain “all” planning Documentary Records, can I further request that you provide me with “any” and   “all”  copies of Documentary “Evidence” and “Information”  obtained  by your enforcement officer  Paul Burgon ,that  he used to reach his conclusion,  when he claimed he had  established  a Planning and Building Regulation “ history check” which confirmed that the extension  built by my neighbour  without Planning Permission, and later submitted as a  Retrospective Application  H / 2009 / 0568,  had remained “unchallenged” for 4 years or more, therefore the extension cannot be enforced against. ?


I also left an annotation  as follows,
This is not the first time I have used this site WhatDoTheyKnow to try and obtain information from Hartlepool Council, a list of all my requests are on this site, other request to my Member of Parliament  etc. are on my blog.
http://alanflounders.blogspot.com/
I have been trying for over 3 years to expose to Public view some very suspicious decisions made by a few unelected Council Officers, and without the help of this site and  the encouragement of few dedicated supporters ,I would have given up some time ago, one very dear friend sent this,

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing
Thanks Sheila

Instances of Land and Property Fraud are Increasing.
Friday 22nd July.
While surfing the Internet to-day, I read that  Stephen Parry, commercial director at Landlord Assist, stated that landlords should have a correspondence address held by the Land Registry to ensure they are notified if anyone tries to interfere with their title to the property.

 “I say any law abiding citizen would agree.”

He further  says: “In addition,  Property owners should  include in their title a restriction requiring the Land Registry “NOT”  to register any change to the title, including change of ownership or mortgage, without their consent.”

“Sound Common Sense.”

I personally find his words of wisdom very refreshing in deed. So much so, that having at this very moment in time, after nearly three (3) years  of swimming up a river of treacle , in  my attempt to have a Government Authority Land Registry,  commence an  Internal Investigation into my Serious Allegations of Land and Property Fraud, by Officers of Land Registry, Durham. With very little success,  they  did apologise and award me £300,  for some mistakes, which I returned, (more on this later )

I have  decided to seek the assistance and support  of my Democratically Elected Member of Parliament, for Hartlepool,  in my attempt to exposed to Public View those officers who have committed dishonest and unlawful acts in Public Office. (I leave readers to form their own opinions of Motive )
By posting on this Blog a weekly update of my Three (3) years struggle with Land Registry and Hartlepool Borough Council , who’s Internet Complaints Procedure is  Unworkable and a Complete and Utter waste of Time.

Friday 22nd July 2001.
Letter  to Mr Iain Wright, Member of Parliament, Hartlepool.

Dear Mr. I. Wright, M.P. for Hartlepool.

It is with some hesitation that I write directly to you, as my Member of Parliament for Hartlepool,  but as you were  Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Communities and Local Government (28 Jun 2007 to 10 Jun 2009) in the last Government , I honestly feel  you will be keen to be made aware of my Allegations of wrongdoing both by Land Registry and some officers of Hartlepool Borough Council.

Land Registry have shown a total Indifference to Commence any Investigation into my  Allegations of Property Fraud, by officers
of Land Registry, Durham.

in a  B.B.C.  T.V. News  Programme “ Land Register too Open  to Fraud”  Broadcast  to the General public on Monday, 30th March 2009
Julie Jenkins,  who claimed to be Head of Fraud , stated:-

"We need to ensure there's a balance between Protecting the Individual
 and Protecting the Property and that's what we're “HERE”  to do ,

“ Protect People's Assets - One of the Most Important Assets they've got."

Land Registry  told the B.B.C. they  had an “Aggressive Anti-Fraud Policy”
and reported that Land Registry has paid “ Out £36 million pounds”  in compensation for “ Fraud “ since 2005, and suggested that
“ANY” Allegations of Land or Property Fraud should be Reported to “Julie Jenkins” Head of Fraud at Land Registry ?.
Which I have repeatedly done, all to no avail, Land Registry no longer wish to correspond with me ---I wonder why ?

Sondh Gurmale  Freedom of Information Officer for Land Registry,
on June 30th 2010, in reply to my request regarding the above , informed me that Land Registry do “NOT” have a Dedicated Department to Investigate
“ ALL “ alleged Land Property Frauds, therefore how can “” Julie Jenkins “
be HEAD of a Fraud department that does “NOT”  exist.

The B.B.C. have confirmed that a search by B.B.C. Engineers following my  additional F.O.I. request , had  Confirmed my inquiry and that the interview with Julie Jenkins  had been Broadcasted  to the General Public on 30th March 2009 and  was in fact recorded. ?

The Responsibility for Broadcasting  such Misleading and  Completely Untrue  Statements by Land Registry and  Julie Jenkins to the General Public  must  rest with Land Registry and not the B.B.C.

There is Definitely something Suspiciously Unsavoury if not Downright
Criminal and Dishonest about Land Registry’s Continued “SILENCE”
and Obvious Reluctance  to Investigate  “MY”  very Serious Allegations of Land and Property Fraud Committed by Employees of Land Registry.

 It would not be right or proper for you as the Democratically Elected   Member of Parliament for Hartlepool , not to be made fully aware of  MY  Serious  Allegations,  and I feel sure that you will agree with me that “ALL”  Despicable Dishonest Activities are clearly not in the “Public Interest” and should be fully Investigated by the Proper Authorities. and any Dishonest and Criminal activities should be Exposed in the Public Domain and  those responsible held accountable for their actions.
 (a)
May I ask you Mr. Wright as my Member of  Parliament for Hartlepool,  to Inquire of Land Registry “WHY” my Serious Allegations .of  wrong doing, incompetence, negligent misrepresentation, and misfeasance in public office, by Andrew Schofield, Office Manager, Richard Fernley , Land Register, Alan Smith , and Tony Lowes all employed at Land Registry, Durham. Have not been Investigated, or Reported for a Police Investigation. or Alternatively brought to the Attention of the Parliamentary Ombudsman.


In addition can you  Re-Assure and Confirm to  the General Public and in Particular all Hartlepool Citizens who “Purchased Council Houses” ,(myself included)) that all Ownership  Details , of Property, Conveyed, Registered and Recorded with  Land Registry, is as  Land Registry Publicly Claim, in their Land Registration Act 2002, Public Guide  8, August 2009,  that a “Registered Land  Title” is     “GUARANTEED”,
(c )
Or is this another Misleading and Completely Untrue Legal Statement  as was the Julie  Jenkins “Aggressive Anti-Fraud Policy” Broadcast on B.B.C. T.V. Broadcasted  to the General Public on 30th March 2009.
(d )
Does it allow Land Registry Authorities to Override the  Legal Conveyance of Property ( from seller to buyer )  as they do now ? if they don’t like the details  recorded.  They appear to be above the law.

“Somebody needs to go into the Land Registry , and find out what actually is going on there. It is clear that Land Registry at present is unfit for purpose.”

A full history of my Complaints and  FOI requests and all Correspondence, to   Land Registry Durham  and Hartlepool Borough Council relating to these Serious Fraudulent matters, which are combined, are available on the Internet at these addresses.

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/alan flounders
http://alanflounders.blogspot.com/  To ensure that a Full Record of this Correspondence is available in future I Intend to include it on my Blog.

More to follow, I intend to post my History of my Objection to a B141 Application next.

They Can't all have won the Lottery

Swindler Douglas Brown siphoned off £2m

Hartlepool is once again is in the news, unfortunately not for the right reasons,

The town remains most famous for its quaint but probably inaccurate legend that during the Napoleonic war its inhabitants, the local fishermen and women of the Headland  now often referred  to as “Crofters”
summarily hung , after a long trial ?  a monkey washed up on the Fish Sands,  from a shipwreck, in the belief that it was a French spy , as it could not speak nor understand the local “Crofters” gibberish.
Hartlepudlians, or Codheads, like  myself ,  are still known  around the world, as “monkey-hangers”).  ?

I have no doubt that we here  in Hartlepool have attracted in the past and will continue to do so,  far more than our fair  share of the villains and  scum bags of society born and bred in the North-East,

I recently read an article in the Sunday Sun that  revealed  the secret life of
Cunning Douglas Brown which claimed that he was  one of the biggest fraudsters the North has ever seen.  Who very nearly brought an international company to its knees when he siphoned off more than £2.4m over 11 years  to fund his lavish lifestyle.

The Sunday Sun  said Brown appeared to be a normal family man – entrusted to run Palmer UK, the British-operation of American firm Palmer International, Inc. based in “Hartlepool”

The business boss claimed he was making pre-payments to suppliers of Cashew Nut Shell Liquid, used by Palmer UK, in the manufacture of brake-linings. Instead he was pocketing the money. He plundered funds for more than a decade through an elaborate scheme

Brown tricked auditors by laying a false paper trail, while keeping real records of how he had switched the cash in locked cabinets in his office
The 63-year-old, former co-chief executive of the company, was jailed for seven years in 2009 after admitting 31 counts of obtaining money transfers by deception between November 1995 and February 2007.

That statement  that he was one of the biggest fraudsters could be challenged, simply because I believe, that we in  the North-East , have had, and  appear to maintain a  history of producing some  of the most Outstanding Criminal minds in the world  of theft and dishonesty, particularly in  politics ,

Who  could  ever forget T. Dan Smith,  the mouth of the Tyne,
ably assisted by Andy Cunningham, J. B. Poulson,  and many others,

 Mr Monkey’s  recent  allegations  of Council corruption on South Tyneside are unbelievable , history again repeating itself. ?
Much more hanky panky is still to be exposed  there , and here in Hartlepool,   I think .

We are not allowed to  forget , John and Anne Darwin, the couple from  Seaton  Carew,   who staged a  sham fatal canoeing accident in a £250,000 insurance scam, it could even be more.

Mr Darwin, 57, was sentenced to six years and three months after admitting seven charges of obtaining money by deception and a passport offence. His wife, who claimed that she was forced to take part in the scheme, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years after being convicted of 15 counts of fraud.

Another “Hartlepool” born  Labour politician, M.P. Frank Cook, who
represented Stockton North which includes Billingham  and Wolviston, until last year, failed in his bid to sue The Sunday Telegraph,  which had reported he claimed back £5 expenses for a church donation ?
 Which was put into a collection by an aide who represented him at a “Battle of Britain” memorial service. Unbelievable conduct, especially from an M.P.  or is it ?

Mr. Frank Cook also lost his seat in last years General Election after he was de-selected by the Labour Party and standing as an Independent candidate.

It is worthwhile remembering that the information which finally exposed these greedy and dishonest M.P. freeloaders had originally been sought under a Freedom of Information Act request.

Not all locally elected councillors and public officials in "Hartlepool"  are “Scoundrels” looking after their own interests, but there are some  in Hartlepool who seem to have prospered financially after gaining office,

They can’t all have won the lottery , or can they ?

In view  of the following message from the Prime Ministers office, No.10, to-day   when a spokesman said :-

"What matters is that all wrongdoing is exposed and those responsible for these appalling acts are brought to justice,  this was regarding the News of the World, but I think it also applies to dishonest  Councils , and Hartlepool is no exception.

I personally find it very difficult to decide who is the worst, the Elected Councillors who remain Suspiciously Silent,  ?  although they must be aware of these Underhanded Practices done in their name?
                                                                       or                          
The Guilty paid Council Officers who are allowed to make these Decisions, Unopposed, knowing, that to Complain  to Hartlepool Borough Council ,is a Complete Waste of time.

Because  any citizen with a grievance  will be completely ignored, you don’t  matter,  the so called political  elite will decide what's good for you'.  Whether you like it or not, and there is very little you can do about it at the moment,  and they know that,

 Look what is happening to us regarding the  imminent  closing of Hartlepool Hospital, and many other issues,  just proves what I have previously said, at the moment they think they are above the law and some think they can walk on water, but I still think that they will get their feet wet very  shortly !
WATCH THIS SPACE

Mr. Monkey and South Tyneside Council

An  anonymous Blogger named Mr Monkey,  has certainly ruffled and exposed to public view  a number of Councillors and Officials at  A North-East Labour Controlled  South Tyneside Council,  ,which is based in South Shields,  who have been pursuing legal action in the  U.S.A.  against  an anonymous Tyneside "Blogger" known as Mr.Monkey
 who has levelled a stream of allegations and criticisms against Councillors and Council Officers, (Nothing New There Then)   if they can't stand the Heat ,leave the kitchen.

Since 2008 Mr Monkey's  allegations against Councillors have ranged from Ballot-Rigging,”  “Drug-taking" and "Fiddling Expenses" I always thought that was par for the course, and even claimed that One Councillor Successfully Ordered a Public Bus to Turn around and Pick him up from a Pub late at night.
 ( can’t see anything wrong there can you “brother” )

The legal action to unmask the Culprit was brought by Three Councillors and One Senior Official:“ Ian Malcolm,“ the Council’s Labour Leader, “David Potts“ , former Conservative Group Leader who is now an independent, Anne Walsh, a Labour Councillor, and Rick O’Farrell, head of enterprise and regeneration.
  Is history repeating itself,

 I remember the “Mouth of the Tyne “ or Mr. Newcastle T.Dan Smith .
Friend, John Poulson, and don’t forget  Andrew “Andy” Cunningham,

Even the Three First Class scoundrels “Blair,”  “Brown” and the Prince of Darkness Himself,  would have had to  kept their hands in their pockets when those boys were around ?  looks like allegations  of corruption involving politicians ? Is again on the move . Things haven’t changed. just the names.

According to the Telegraph,
Mark Stephens, a leading media lawyer who has represented  Julian Assange the founder of “Wilki Leaks” after the US government sought to obtain his Twitter account details, said: “I think it is inappropriate for a local authority to spend money on this kind of exercise. Local authorities cannot sue for libel and, if individual councillors have been defamed, they should take proceedings at their own cost.”

I received a similar answer from Hartlepool  Borough Council (I think ) in reply to my F.O.I. request in September 2010. available on What Do They Know Site
More to follow on taking legal action against Officers of Hartlepool Council.

This  action is believed to have cost “Council Tax Payers “ hundreds of thousands of pounds.  “ Not , you will note, their own money”  very similar if not Identical to Hartlepool Borough Council's  policy of spending or shall I say wasting Tax payers money ?

No doubt I will be criticised,  but I would like readers to remember that for over 65 Years I was , as was my late father, a Fanatical, I mean a real Fanatical  Labour Supporter, Old Labour, not that Cynical invention of Blair, Brown and the Prince of Darkness Himself,  Peter Mandelson ,  once M.P. and now Freeman  for my home town “Hartlepool” Unbelievable , but true.
The labour party died, after John Smith.  And the above scoundrels came  on to the scene  and high-jacked a once decent political party,

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.
http://www.high-tax-hartlepool.co.uk/index.htm

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,?

Letter sent to "Reviewer" in January, still awaiting a response.?

Dear Alyson Carman,

Friday 7 January 2011.

Dear Alyson Carman,
Reviewer of Freedom of Information Requests.
It is now several months since I wrote in reply to you, ( delay due
to illness ) objecting to your review of my freedom of Information
request , were I was asking for copies of all documents
particularly Certificates of Ownership, “A” and “B” that Hartlepool
Council Planning claimed to have been scrutinised to establish and
“VALIDATE” the true ownership of the disputed Land and Property
before granting the Controversial Retrospective Planning
Application H / 2009 / 0568 .These documents were refused by Hayley
Martin and again by you the Reviewing Authority.

My allegations of a “Conflict of Interest “ in that you personally
would be unable to give a unbiased decision was based on my
knowledge that you were personally aware that we Alan Harvey
Flounders and Jacqueline Flounders were and still are the sole “
ABSOLUTE” legal owners of “ALL” Land and property detailed and
registered and recorded with Land Registry, Durham on 29th March
1984. On Land Title Documents CE 74844 copies of these Legal Land
Title Documents where given to you in person by me, in your office,
in December 2008 and again in January 2009. and therefore I
maintain, that you were fully aware that these original legal Land
Title Deeds CE 74844, and other documents where issued and signed
by your own Legal Departments Chief Solicitor, J Anthony Brown, in
addition to our redemption payment of mortgage, acknowledged by
J.D. Walton I.P.F.A. Chief Financial Officer, when we purchased the
said property from Hartlepool Council on 1st February 1984.

It is my understanding from my solicitor, that when the Land
Registry registers a particular piece of freehold land for the
first time it will give it one of three (3 ) “classes” of title.
These are :- 1.Absolute 2.Qualified, 3.Posssessory

“ Absolute “ is the best class to have as it is “indefeasible,”
i.e. once it is granted the proprietor is recognised as the
“absolute owner” and no one can challenge his ownership, even if it
appears that a person may have a genuine claim to the land.”
Land Title Deeds CE 74844 Title Absolute, clearly shows EXACTLY
what Property and Land Details we PURCHASED when buying our Council
House from you, Hartlepool Borough Council, in February 1984,

Our Land Title Deeds were confirmed and signed by Hartlepool
Borough
Councils, Chief Solicitor J Anthony Brown, and our Solicitors
Levinson, Walker and Lister, our Receipt for our MORGAGE Redemption
Final Payment was Signed by Hartlepool Borough Councils Chief
Financial Officer Mr. J.D. WALTON, ( which we still Possess )

Your Legal Department are aware of all this, yet your Legal
Department ( to whom both you and Hayley Martin are part of )
allowed Certificate s of Property Ownership "A" "B" to be submitted
for “VALIDATION” of property ownership for a Retrospective Planning
Application ( previously built “Without “ planning permission “ to
the planning authority, which was granted by Mr Reece and Richard
Trow, without any input of the Elected Councillors or without any
serious attempt to “ENSURE” that the applicant was the Legal owner
of the said land and property, Hartlepool Council Officials Mr
Richard Trow was also aware of our ownership, ( after his home
visit to take Photographs ) whoever submitted certificates “A” and
“B” did so in an attempt to deprive us of our Legally Purchased
Land and Property.

An examination of our Land Title Deeds CE 74844, which you were
well aware of, after examining them in December/January 2008/2009.
in addition to Richard Trow, Planning Officer, and your enforcement
officer Paul Burgon, who also examined our title deeds after his
visits, would have clarified the property dispute immediately . ?

Under the circumstances , Hartlepool Councils total failure to make
any attempt to resolve this property dispute , leaves us with no
alterative but to seek redress in law, We therefore give you
immediate notice that we intend to commence legal proceedings
against Hartlepool Council and the named Council Officers. I will
be asking the Court for Hartlepool Council and all Officials named
to produce and supply me will copies of all Documents we have
previously requested and any and all documents you possess to
disprove of entitlement of Land and Property Ownership. I still
posses all E-Mails and other letters which promised action but
failed to enforce
Yours Sincerely
Alan Harvey Flounders
Copies to,
Hayley Martin, F.O.I. Officer
Mr Reece, Planning,
Richard Trow, Planning
Gill Scanlon,
Paul Burgon, Enforcement Officer.
Stuart Green
Liz Crookson

Yours sincerely,

alan harvey flounders

Update of the Arrest of Independent Hartlepool Councillor

Like the majority of people from Hartlepool , I personally was utterly bewildered and shocked , when it was announced in February 2011, that a well know and in some quarters, a very well respected Independent town councillor Geoff Lilley, ( who incidentally I have never met ) was arrested by Hartlepool Police and held in custody and questioned for some hours, regarding the allegations of cyber - bullying ? instigated by a fellow Councillor ( Labour ) Marjorie James. which were published on a very well known and greatly valued local political debating forum “High Tax Hartlepool” some of the posts are very interesting, well worth a look.

Without doubt this site H.T.H. has changed people awareness of local politics in Hartlepool and in my opinion it can only improve, without its voice there is no place to go ?

I like, many more Hartlepool Citizens, have been waiting patiently for the opportunity to visit a Court of Law, and personally witness one of the most spectacular events of the year in Hartlepool, the chance to hear about the political shenanigans and hanky-panky that rumour says happens on a weekly basis in Hartlepool Council.
Some even say, it resembles a rehearsal for a Christmas Pantomime , particularly in the Planning Department ?

This Cyber - Bullying case against the Independent Councillor Geoff Lilley has now been dropped, after the Crown Prosecution Service decided that, he had no case to answer, ?

If this decision pleases Councillor Geoff Lilley, then I am sincerely pleased for him, but I am personally a little disappointed that Councillor Geoff Lilley will not now be able to have his day in court, as he originally said he wanted.

I personally feel that his appearance, centre stage in court, would have guaranteed him pole position in the forthcoming local political elections.

I also believe, it would have been hilarious and a absolute nightmare for the prosecution to present their case, ? Something to do with ping - pong balls I believe ? And would have exposed to public view these arrogant, self-serving, hypocrites that they are.

Any normal person might have thought that Councillor Marjorie James (Labour ) would have been personally delighted that no further police action is to be taken over her allegations of Cyber-Bullying , but, evidently not,

it is reported that Councillor Marjorie James (Labour ) is said to be unhappy, deeply distressed and disappointed , that the Crown Prosecution Service have decided that the Independent Councillor Geoff Lilley
has no case to answer, in addition, she says, the advice received by the Crown Prosecution Service from the Hartlepool Police has not been successful in achieving the support she had hoped for. ?

Furthermore she is awaiting an “Explanation” from the Crown Prosecution Service, as to “Why” they are Not pursuing this matter further.?

One has to admire her audacity, or is it arrogance, some might even say ignorance, I leave others to decide ? but then she obviously feels she is a very Important and Influential Political Personality in Hartlepool, to ask the Crown Prosecution Service to give her a Personal explanation of their Legal Decisions ? I hope she receives a better response from the C.P.S. than I, a full council tax payer received from her colleagues on Hartlepool Council , particularly the Legal and Planning Departments,

I make no apologies in repeating, my own personal experience of my ONE ( 1 ) and ONLY Formal Complaint to Hartlepool Council ,I discovered that :-

Hartlepool Councils Complaints Procedure, is without doubt , a Total and Complete Shambles , a Utter Waste of Time, which was the reason I first started this very blog. the Dishonesty and Self Gratification and Incompetence of some Democratically Elected Hartlepool Councillors and most, if not all, the Unelected Council Officials , is mind blowing.

Obviously a complaint or a allegation of any Wrongdoing involving other Hartlepool Council Officers , is definitely , a non starter, considering, it's then a Hartlepool Council Officer investigating the alleged Misconduct of another Hartlepool Council Officer in Public Office, this is deceitful and dishonest. And I believe Criminal, (more to follow on this allegation ) In particular, :-

I find this attitude very distasteful and highly suspicious, after asking for a “Review “ of Hilary Martin’s ,the Solicitor and F.O.I. Officer, handling and refusal to produce for my inspection copies of ownership documents which would have proved the truth of my allegations of deception , to find that the “Reviewer “ was non other than Alyson Carman (who in turn is now the Legal Services Manager/Solicitor) and obviously a colleague of Hilary Martin who now holds the F.O.I. Office , the position formerly held by ( have a guess ) Alyson Carman,? This I believe is “Misfeasance in Public Office “
Needless to say, I am still awaiting a reply to my last letter in January 2011.?

I believe that some, but not all, of the present assembly of Democratically Elected Councillors , and Unelected Council Officers, now Masquerading as a “ Democratic Council.” do not wish the people of Hartlepool to be made aware of their wrongdoing and are terrified that their abuses of Misfeasance in Public who will eventually be exposed on sites such as High Tax Hartlepool,
