Stamford Bridge Boundary Change – September Meeting

Posted on August 23, 2022 by andystrangeway

Stamford Bridge residents living on Godwin Vale will be pleased to learn that Part 2 of the Stamford Bridge Boundary change will be raised at the next meeting of the Local Government Boundary Commission in September.

Photo That Inspired The Change

When I instigated the Stamford Bridge Parish boundary change in 2017, while serving as the ERYC Independent Councillor for Stamford Bridge, I was aware of the required two parts to the change.

If the second part of the boundary change is confirmed it will mean that residents of Godwin Vale will be able to vote for Councillors to represent them at ERYC in the same way all other Stamford Bridge residents can currently. In essence, Godwin Vale residents will finally become a full part of Stamford Bridge. Common sense will prevail.

Yesterday I received confirmation that:

“The matter is still with the Local Government Boundary Commission, it is being raised at their next meeting in September.”

Tory Councillors Silence

I wonder why local ERYC Conservative Councillors have not informed residents of this latest news?

Surely it is not because certain Tory Councillors spoke out against the change for reasons unknown?

Chief Executive Knew About Monitoring Failure

Posted on August 14, 2022 by andystrangeway

ERYC Chief Executive, Caroline Lacey, has known since 2015 that ERYC did not monitor bullying since its creation in 1996.

ERYC Chief Executive, Caroline Lacey, Brushes Away Monitoring

Background

For background, I refer to ERYC Bullying Deception Fully Exposed, in brief:

  • This exposes how “ERYC do not monitor bullying and harassment and has not done since ERYC was formed in 1996”
  • Conservative Councillor Kevin Beaumont correctly stated: “If this was available to the public they would be horrified”
  • The start of monitoring was a direct result of my FOI in April 2022.

Chief Executive Knew In 2015

In response to a Freedom of Information request in 2015, on ERYC headed paper clearly stating: Caroline Lacey Interim Director of Corporate Resources

the current Chief Executive responded by claiming to hold evidence. Everyone now knows that this is a lie as bullying is not monitored. I was also the victim of ERYC lies in April 2022.

BY ADDRESSING THIS FOI IN 2015  CAROLINE LACEY DEMONSTRATES THAT SHE KNEW 7 YEARS AGO THAT ERYC DID NOT MONITOR BULLYING – BUT DID NOWT!

Chief Executive Position Untenable

The position of the ERYC Chief Executive is now untenable and she MUST clear her desk immediately.

She has now lost all respect of the full workforce, her cover-up will result in more officers leaving and will make it impossible to recruit. What a mess. Can it get any worse?

Given that Tory Councillors Cheer Not Questioning Officers will the 67 Councillors now continue in this mode or comply with the recommendations of the LGA?

I believe an Emergency Meeting of Councillors MUST be called to ask questions of Caroline Lacey. This should include:

  1. As you have covered this up for at least 7 years what else have you covered up?
  2. Given that this clearly demonstrates a failure of the ERYC Duty of Care in relation to bullying how do you propose to prepare for possible future legal action, especially a class action?
  3. Given this cover-up how can you prevent a further exodus of Officers?
  4. Given this cover-up how can ERYC attract future Officers?
  5. Will you be issuing a full, unreserved apology to all Officers, Councillors and residents?
  6. As we will now lose further Officers and be unable to recruit how can we fulfil our Statutory Duties?
  7. To quote Councillor Kevin Beaumont: “If this was available to the public they would be horrified”. How do you believe the public will be now, knowing that this has been covered up for 7 years?
  8. Do you believe you have committed Misconduct in Public Office?
  9. Was ERYC Leader Councillor Jonathan Owen aware of this cover-up?
  10. As Jonathan failed to address this cover-up due to dishonesty or incompetence do you believe his position is also now untenable?

ERYC is in a state of collapse.

Tory Councillors Cheer Not Questioning Officers

Posted on August 13, 2022 by andystrangeway

The two LGA reports, aka Draft – ERYC Confidential Bullying Report and ERYC Confidential Bullying Report, highlighted the failure of ERYC Councillors to hold Officers to account.

April 2018 – Do Not Question ERYC Officers

Yet in April 2018, the then ERYC Conservative Leader Councillor Parnaby stated:

“For any members to question their (ERYC officers) professionalism and integrity is absolutely appalling”

Neither I nor the LGA supports this opinion.

The former Leader then states:

“Do not have a go at professional officers carrying out their duties”

To this the Conservative Councillors cheer. The current Leader Conservative Councillor Jonathan Owen sat next to Stephen and can be seen supporting the Leader.

Do you support the ex Leader or the LGA, Jonathan? If you support the LGA will you still be able to hold your weekly meetings with Stephen?

Don’t take my word for it. Watch a sample of the video.

Vote Tory Receive No Scrutiny

Abused, Bullied, And Neglected For 11 Years

Posted on August 8, 2022 by andystrangeway

Yesterday morning it was my pleasure to meet Graham Baverstock in his home in Bridlington.

Graham is a victim of child abuse. Sadly for the last 11 years, Graham has been abused, bullied and neglected by ERYC.

Despite his dire need for Adult Social Care ERYC has treated Graham with contempt and denied him the help he desperately needs. This is because he has the audacity to question their failures.

Medical History

It is perverse that ERYC regularly questions Graham’s medical history. I can confirm that I have had full sight of Graham’s Hospital Passport which was updated in May 2022. With Graham’s permission, I publish his medical history from the passport. This clearly refutes ERYC.

How can ERYC be so cruel?

Abused, Bullied and Neglected For 11 Years

Graham Speaks

Graham has evidence to support everything he states.

Grahams Home

ERYC Inhumanity Exposed

Councillors Shame

How can ERYC and 67 Councillors sleep at night when any ERYC resident is subjected to that which Graham is?

Questions of all 67 Councillors MUST be asked but I highlight three who have a clear duty to assist.

  • Why are Yorkshire Party Councillors Tim Norman and Andy Walker failing to help Graham given that they are his elected representatives? Their inaction insults the good name of Yorkshire.
  • Why is the Portfolio Holder for Adults, Health and Wellbeing, Conservative Councillor Kerri Harold not helping Graham?

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

Buckley Gone – Evison Exposed – Pure Coincidence

Posted on August 7, 2022 by andystrangeway

It has been suggested to me that my timing, 06.10 Saturday 6 August, when I exposed ERYC Conservative Councillor Jane Evison in The Lowest BID was connected with the fact that ERYC Head of Legal (I should say former) Mathew Buckley had finally left the building close of play Friday 5 August.

Goodbye Mathew – You made me laugh

My timing, which was surely a pure coincidence, would make for a baptism of fire for “my successor” Lisa Nicholson, as Jane and others run to her for advice. Welcome Lisa, I highly recommend a quick exit.

Moving on, a “Strangeway Straw Poll” can reveal not one person in County Hall, be they a Councillor or Senior Officer, fully understands The Lowest BID. Does this mean that those who should know do not know what is really happening?

I wonder if Strangeway knows owt?

Run To The Hills

Perhaps this may assist those who appear to be walking blindly into something they know nowt about.

The Lowest BID

Posted on August 6, 2022 by andystrangeway

Following a damning condemnation by ERYC and an even more resounding thrashing by SBC, Councillors of both authorities are scratching their heads about why Councillor Jane Evison has not pulled the rip-cord and bailed out of Yorkshire Coast BID’s Board of Directors.

Councillor Jane Evison

Perhaps her closest colleague wants to stick it out a little longer and Jane, on past form, could be receptive to that.

It can only be a matter of time . . . ERYC’s accounts are now open to public inspection!

Is there a fire in the vat – or is the VAT in the fire?

Of course, Strangeway knows nowt.

Its Official Official – Buckley Departure Not Official

Posted on August 4, 2022 by andystrangeway

On Yorkshire Day, August 1, I explained Its Official – Buckley Departure Not Official and shared the email below.

I can now confirm that it is official official that the departure of Buckley is not official. I share with the Court of Public Opinion the email below.

The prompt reply, only hours after my post, is noted. Thanks for the email Amy and the official announcement that there has been no official announcement.

Can anyone name that fish that smells a bit whiffy?

What will happen after Friday 5 August? Perhaps there will be an official announcement … or could there be a delay because…

Mathew, what does the term laughing stock mean?

Strangeway still knows nowt.

“Not Acceptable To Be Doing This” Cllr Helen Green

Posted on August 3, 2022 by andystrangeway

ERYC Conservative for Cottingham South, Councillor Helen Green, has confirmed what many thought of her by informing a Cottingham resident that “I don’t think it’s acceptable to be doing this” by doing it!

Many will be aware that our Helen is known for not being the brightest lightbulb but surely even she must be aware that to inform a resident

 “I don’t think it’s acceptable to be doing this”

by doing the action is one to file under the pot calling the kettle black.

I would politely suggest that Helen gives her head a wobble, bangs it against a brick wall, or takes up origami. It would seem that Cllr Green has lost the plot. What an example for the little children!

Councillor Green clearly inflamed the situation.

Did the meeting continue after the Clerk abandoned his post, Helen?

Always A Tory

Why are such acts always by ERYC Tory Councillors?

Could it be that they are devoid of common sense or just have a lower IQ than average?

Encore, more, more…

ERYC Tory Group Bullying Allegations Rife

Posted on August 2, 2022 by andystrangeway

Rumours are rife that an officer who works in the Admin team of the ERYC Conservative Group Office in County Hall has been the victim of bullying. The victim has lodged a formal complaint.

Tory Group Lounge

I am informed that the matter is being dealt with by Darren Stevens, Executive Director of Corporate Resources and that the allegations are against a senior Tory Councillor.

That’s ten bob each way on a cover-up then!

Right of Reply

I offer both Darren and the ERYC Leader Conservative Councillor Jonathan Owen a right of reply.

Its Official – Buckley Departure Not Official

Posted on August 1, 2022 by andystrangeway

It would seem that “Bullying Scandal Exposure Hastens Buckley’s Departure” caused panic at County Hall.

Desperately seeking “my successor“

The never-ending goodbye of Mathew Buckley, ERYC Director of Legal, makes for interesting reading:

  1. A few months ago ERYC Councillors received notice of Buckley leaving the building – but this was not official.
  2. A month ago a Yorkshire alternative media outlet was informed by Buckley himself of his planned departure – but this was not official.
  3. Last week countless emails from Mathew flew across the East Riding announcing his departure – but this was not official.

I can now reveal:

“There has not been a formal announcement yet” Amy Ward, ERYC Information Governance and Feedback Team – 28 July 2022 – does this mean it is not official?

Is anyone smelling something a little fishy?

My Successor 

As can be seen, Mathew himself claims that:

“My successor is Lisa Nicholson…”

  • Is this actually correct Mathew?
  • What qualifications does Lisa hold?
  • What does the word interim mean?

Mr Google

Is it right that a simple request to Mr Google has put suitable applicants off applying to be “My successor”, Mathew?

I wonder why no one wants to take over the mess ERYC is in with bullying and DBid due to legal incompetence?

I know a man who knows … But as always Strangeway knows nowt.
