Interfering with the
electoral process.
Compromising the integrity
of the Hemingbrough Parish Election.
I would be delighted if the Hemingbrough Residents named by
the Selby District Council ‘Democratic Services
Department’ Employee in an email to Parish Clerk Julie Leighton-Eshelby were “affiliated” (allied, united, joined, or associated) with me.
If they were, they would oppose the persistent bullying of
Roland Chilvers at Parish Council meetings this year.
They would be unlike Clerk Leighton-Eshelby who
sat silently while volatile Chairman Strelczenie ranted on and on in front of
the public, and my video cam, about his erstwhile political ally and friend. They would be unlike Vice-chairman Bob
Procter (now resigned, with no explanation for the Council) who stared at the
ceiling. They would be unlike two Councillors
who seem to revel in anything that makes Chilvers uncomfortable, even doing his
duty. They would be unlike other cowardly
Councillors who ignored my request to put an end to the public, nasty bullying.
I claim local M.P. Nigel Adams is allied with me as he has
condemned YouTube video clips of Hemingbrough Council as “NASTY”.
I absolutely reject the actions of the unidentified person
masquerading as sunshinebabe@hotmail.com
that contacted the Democratic Services Department Employee by email, and then forwarded
a copy to me. That cowardly person addressed
the anonymous email to the Employee by name and the only place where the Employee’s name is used is in the communication
between Parish Clerk Leighton-Eshelby and Councillors.
Somebody will identify the author in time, just as the
Snakes that authored the scurrilous, anonymous website about Parish Council
proceedings were identified.
Elections are formal events, governed by rules and regulations.
The Clerk and the
Selby District Council Employee need to answer questions to avoid a cover-up:
If ten Hemingbrough residents, democratically and by right, petition
the District Council for a local election, what official paperwork flows between the District
Council and Parish Council?
When the Clerk heard about the petition, why did she confer
with the Democratic Services Department Employee by informal email as follows “Not again!! Has this petition come from Mr Markham again
by any chance?”
Why did the Clerk single me out from ten residents that
included two Parish Councillors who petitioned for an election in June 2017 that was welcomed by Selby District Council?
Why does the Clerk, whom we pay to implement Council
decisions and give advice to Councillors, and nothing else, meddle in Parish elections?
Why did the Employee respond to the Clerk by informal email
with the names of the ten Petitioners, confirmation my name was not on the
list, ask if the residents were affiliated with me, and offer his thanks?
Why did the Employee meddle in a Parish Council election
when the Democratic Services Group already knew about a complaint of bullying
at Hemingbrough?
(“To Democratic
Services Group
The enclosed,
sealed envelope contains my “Complaint of bullying by Jan Strelczenie,
Chairman, Hemingbrough Parish Council” that I was authorised to submit by
Gillian Marshall on Friday 14 July 2017.
I wrote it over last weekend, as she requested.)
Who at Selby District Council is collected details of my
affiliates?
What right do both Clerk and Employee have to identify if
the Petitioners are affiliated with me?
Will the Clerk’s circulation
of the Petitioners’ names discourage any possible Petitioners from supporting
any other candidate?
Does Selby District Council always inform the Hemingbrough Clerk of the names of all Petitioners,
and in what form, and at what stage of the election are their names circulated
to Councillors by the Clerk?
Why does the Selby Council ‘Parish election - Nomination paper”
ask for only a Candidate’s Proposer and Seconder, and not all ten petitioners?
Did the Employee inform the Clerk of all Petitioners’ names
for the June 2017 Parish Council election?
Did the Clerk circulate the names of all Petitioners for the
June 2017 election to all Councillors on unsecured email addresses, and when?
Who is Sunshinebabe who talks about “Village Gossip” within two
days of the Clerk’s email? Who uses Mail
for Windows 10? (Not too many)
Will the inappropriate communications between Clerk and
Employee, and Clerk and Councillors, compromise the integrity of the Hemingbrough
Parish Election?
I THINK SO. WILL YOU
TAKE THE RISK OF SUPPORTING AN ELECTION CANDIDATE KNOWING HOW YOU MAY BE IDENTIFIED,
EXPOSED, TREATED. etc?
