Contacting Councillors - What happened next?

(See previous post for the question).

A few councillors answered the question, affirming they had not initiated any disciplinary proceedings against staff. Their images have been made smaller in the collage below.

Many councillors have not replied (a few auto-replied but have not sent any subsequent responses). Their images remain the default size.

A number of Councillors replied but did not answer the question. One referred my email to the Chief Executive, others simply noted my comments. Their images have been enlarged below.

The Chief Exec subsequently replied, advising that he had passed my query onto the Chief Officer HR to respond on the matters raised. I await that with interest but I do not regard Council proceedings to be at issue, rather the judgement of the Councillors who initiated the action.

I was told informally that an email went round to Councillors from the Chief Exec on the matter but I have not seen the contents of that message yet. However, no more responses were received from Councillors after I was told that.

I noticed the other day that Alan Lamb's blog has been completely deleted - it should be here.

There may be an innocent explanation for this but it seems very fishy to me. Was he "leant on"?

I might see if I can find some things out.

It's a shame because he never really said anything controversial and he seemed to genuinely want to use the internet to engage people more.

Thanks for your comment, anon. Moderation was turned on for posts over 14 days hence the delay. (I've backed it off to 60 days to minimise spam).

Some Councillors (& MPs) have excellent blogs but many are just vapid self promotion and they get all shirty when anyone chooses to disagree with them.

I'm inclined to think that he just has a corrupt database with his Wordpress. (I run some other Wordpress Blogs & I've seen this sort of thing before).
