Evidence and fair process of law is all.<br />Anyone accused of wrongdoing should have a fair hearing and the opportunity to defend against his accusers.<br />What I KNOW is happening in IACC, and no doubt elsewhere, is Members, and staff, benefitting from more relaxed policy requirements (eg. in planning applications) that enable them to evade requirements (eg the Aberffraw and Dwyran cases above)that you and I would have to meet....we see it again and again.<br />It may not be deliberate circumvention, it may not be covert...but it IS happening, because officers are perhaps content not to be too hard on their political masters for fear of repercussions and intimidations.<br />This is reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-73265843617398821472010-05-27T09:23:14.856+01:002010-05-27T09:23:14.856+01:00"So it is right and proper that erring person..."So it is right and proper that erring personalities are identified, exposed and scrutinised when they have done wrong...Are we saying that these abuses should go unchecked ????"<br /><br />Now, abuses - where abuse or other wrongs are positively identified and proven to a legal standard - are always matters this blog would wish to see tried in a court or alternatively stamped-out.<br /><br />The only problem is that, even if those making the claims here have absolute proof that what they say is true, then we as readers cannot comment (or we would be unwise to comment) because we cannot verify the evidence is as stated; in a court, both sides get to express their views, but that isn't necessarily the case here, and in any event, a blog is not the means by which wrongdoing is corrected.<br /><br />So, as has so often been said here, if you have evidence of wrongdoing, or a reasonable belief that it is taking place, then you should refer to the appropriate authorities. I agree with anyone that says this sounds cliche, and the authorities often are unresponsive. But if you persevere and use your rights and a bit of political nouse, you can force these people to act if it's clear there are reasons they should do so.And Now, the Great Councillininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-36778117177175258782010-05-27T08:24:02.066+01:002010-05-27T08:24:02.066+01:00Druid.
