From the Vaults your frequently asked
questions
----------------------------------------------------------------
Which current
drunken councillor 'threw-up' over an official of our twin town of Chatelleraut?
Who needed hospital treatment for alcoholic poisoning?
....................and who paid the bill?
It seems it was us, the long suffering tax payers of Corby!
-------
Why have a
Mayor?
The mayor in Corby conforms to standard (for Corby Labour Party that
is)
The Mayor 2000 was Jane Field.
How sad that a few months previous Ms Field was deselected by the Labour
Party, then re-instated on appeal.
from Nothing to Mayor - the biggest comeback since JC!!
Then, we hear that the Standards Committee on CBC were investigating
the allocation of
charitable funds raised by the Mayor. We await the outcome (IF they
publish.......).
The Mayor 2001 was Betty Wade.
Another highly successful years fund raising (not).
It costs over £4,000 to stage the mayor's fund-raising ball alone.
Just £1200 was given to charity.
The Mayor 2002 is Willie Latta.
Watch this space.
NEXT YEAR ITS PAAAAAARTEEEEE TIME.
will Maureen Forshaw 'get the job'?
(remember to bring your sick bag
Maureen)
Oh, and by the way, it costs council tax payers £60,000 EVERY
YEAR
for this councillors freebie

The following story has been verified by FreeCorby.
We have spoken to a witness at the Industrial Tribunal who has confirmed
the following details:
This witness also confirms that he is willing to testify to the facts below.
We have not spoken to the ex-personal assistant on this matter due to
the
existence of the non-disclosure agreement detailed below.
----------------------------
Phil Hope
MP was taken to an industrial tribunal by his personal assistant.
Accused, along with his other PA Les Rolfe, of various items which
included
sexual discrimination, harassment, unfair dismissal, etc, etc.
Was there an 'out of court' settlement made?
Answer: YES there was.
How much did Mr Hope pay to his ex-personal assistant at the end of
the case'?
Answer: several thousand pounds
(our witness would not disclose the exact amount)
Did Mr Hope's ex-personal assistant pay anything
at all to Mr Hope?
Answer: NO
Was there a non-disclosure agreement signed by Mr Hope's
ex-personal assistant?
Answer: YES there was.
Was there a clause in this agreement preventing the disclosure of the
existence of
the non-disclosure agreement?
Answer: YES there was.
How soon after the case finished did Mr Hope pay the money over?
Answer: around 3 weeks,
after being told that, as the payment was not received within the two weeks
specified,
the person concerned would not feel obliged to honour the non-disclosure
agreement.
Is this 'vigorously' defending the case?
The reader must answer that question........................
If Mr Hope would care to repudiate this story we welcome
his comments and WILL publish them
Footnote:
The Chair of the Tribunal allowed an additional case of indirect discrimination
against the Labour Party.
At the end of the Tribunal the Labour Party also made an 'out of court' settlement.
Our information is that this was a token sum to cover expenses.
