Ms Covell,
I refer to the email you sent to the Chairman and Chief Fire Officer which has been referred for my attention in accordance with our procedure for dealing with complaints against senior officers. They will not be responding directly to you.
I shall be giving this matter appropriate consideration and I would anticipate communicating with you further within the next 5 to 10 working days.
It would be most helpful if you could provide me with a territorial address for future communication purposes.

Time to sell your story to the press I think.
ReplyDeleteSo lets see......Mr Barnes.....The Brigades Legal Beagle......can't see him investigating this properly, can you. WYFRS is a closed shop. They all stick together up in that place and back each other up no matter what. I bet we see another internal cover up. Get it to the press! The public have a right to know about the shambles that is WYFRS senior management!!!
ReplyDeleteGet what to the press? A half baked allegation which is a storm in a teacup even if true. The press might start viewing Anthea O in a very different light if they knew what she had been getting up to all along. Why was she secretly taping a meeting to discuss the terms of her departure ? Did she tell her union reps she was taping them too and what do they think about it. Oh yes folks this is just an edited extract and who knows just what edits have been made , publish the entire recording
ReplyDeleteThe press at this moment in time would cloud the issues, we haven't contacted them or them us.
ReplyDeleteThe information was put in the public domain because if the recording had merely been sent to WYFRS we would a week later have got a standard "no case to answer response" and apart from a farce of an appeal that would have been it. having seen some of Mr Barnes handiwork before I expect I will be the one investigated, although I genuinely hope he will temper his language.
Sadly I know from experience they try to influence people. Within a day of this blog commencing they tried to shut me up and although the dead have no protection under the Data Protection Act this particular corpse wasn't even cool before they waded in!
you are right what you say about that barnes character - i bet he will use every trick in the book to get his back scratching pals off the hook - they are all in it together , was he listening in too?
ReplyDeleteThen sadly too he has no professional integrity. Which is concerning in itself. But we are all way ahead of ourselves. Lets see what happens.

Deleteits like putting the fox in charge of the hen coop. He was probably behind the spying because its difficult to believe Marty the trainspotter did it all by himself
