What is the truth behind the last Chair of the PC’s
Resignation? (part 3 the summary)
Now the question is was there collusion and conspiring between those
making complaints and others with the same agenda?
Mr Meager’s complaint was the first made 22nd March 2018 and not decided
until 14th November.
Mrs Iwancovck was made 27th June and rejected 7th September and
appealed13th September and decided 16th October.
Both of these complainants made reference to information that was not of
their direct knowledge and either based on third party information or
unfounded accusation. None of the accusations made were put to Mr
Fielding by the Monitoring officer or clarification sought by the MO. All
accusations were taken and decided at face value and never investigated fully
which was why Mr Fielding decided to wash his hands of the whole
complaints procedure.
In Mr Meager’s complaint no one present, when he professed to being bullied
and intimidated, were ever approached for their confirmation of events. The
references of Mr Fielding being responsible for the resignation of the clerk
and the previous chair can only have come from personal and
unsubstantiated statements of the previous chair in which Mr Fielding was
never named, and not first hand experience thereby being supposition not
fact. It might be interesting to point out that the previous chair had the same
affiliation to the village pressure group as all of those complaining against Mr
Fielding.
Mr Eldridge’s complaint (12th Nov) was also made against another councillor
who decided to respond to it’s puerile and vexatious nature (it asked of him
the same inane questions) and the MO found that there was no case to
answer.
So it can be seen from similarities in the complaints that these were
orchestrated and colluded attempts to intimidate and undermine Mr Fielding.
They failed in intimidating but did influence him into re-assessing the
herculean efforts he had undertaken to get the PC he loved back on track
from the orchestrated chaos it had been led into.
This is a loss that the PC that will take a long time to recover from. Let us
hope that the PC is not infected again by vested interests rather than
uncompromising community interest which is what it should be.
