The
Councillors below meet together as a Full
Council several times a year. During these
assemblies they decide the Council's overall policies and
budgets. The Council's Chairman, Vice Chairman and Leader
are elected annually. A Cabinet
comprising 8 members is appointed by the Leader's
recommendation, which group takes major decisions for the Council.
They are vicariously liable for any wrongdoing that they know of
but fail to take action to rectify.
Within
Wealden, these members are allowing development that will harm
the environment. There are no road improvements to carry the
extra vehicular traffic, leading to potholes and dangerous
driving conditions. There are no affordable homes, only
executive housing that is causing global warming.
If
you have a good heart, why not put your name in the hat for
election. With delegated officer decisions, we wonder why the
taxpayer should be burdened with additional expenses. The same
applies to MPs, who have done nothing to stop the rot, but still
claim expenses that you, the taxpayer is footing the bill for.
We wonder if AI might replace local authorities altogether.
Since, much of the time their vindictive officers try to prove
water flows uphill. Much as with the Post Office Horizon scandal
in the UK that wrongly prosecuted 900 people for fraud, when in
fact it was a computer error that the executives knew about and
tried to hide.

IF
YOU ARE CONSIDERING RELOCATING TO WEALDEN YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW MORE OF
THE ADMINISTRATION THAN THE COUNCIL OFFICERS WILL LET ON:
The
residents of Wealden District
Council (WDC) are obliged to pay one of the highest rate levies
in the country.
This
council has been found guilty of maladministration
several times since 1989.
This
council has been severely criticised by Planning
Inspectors, the
County Court and the High Court
for its unreasonable behaviour.
Nolan
Committee recommend no council officer serves more than 5 years to
prevent cozy relationships
forming, yet some officers have been serving for more than 20 years.
Some
cases would be so damaging to this council, if they came into the
public domain, this council have obtained gagging orders when
settling claims of compensation.
