18th September 2015
Hastings Borough Council is due to
meet with Full Council on the 23rd September 2015 to ratify what appears
to be an unsigned document.
For eighty (80) days a Freedom of Information Request[1] has
been sent to the Council and Planning Inspectorate to obtain this legally signed or digitally signed Inspectors Report as part of the Public Examination of the Hastings Local Plan Development Plan. It has not been forthcoming from Council or Planning
Inspectorate, the Information Controller has been informed.
The Council has provided a document
with a fancy typeface font Lucida Calligraphy signature as proof it has a signed document.
This is not a signed Report from the Inspector. Why has the Inspector not
stepped in?
The premise is quite simple there
has not been a signed document provided for the Full Council to determine a
matter item three (3) upon a font signature is not adequate to prove
unequivocally that the Inspector signed
this Report. Some people believe that this document was written by Forward
Planning Department which if this is the case that a staggering £40,278.63. + £56,576.14[2]
= £96,85477 has been spent on a sham. I have contacted
Councillors and even been told what do I expect of this Council.
