Ockbrook and Borrowash Parish Council notice board is again sporting a notice attacking the Erewash Labour Party. To what do we owe this infamy! Well, it's because a Borough Councillor asked for information about how Borough money has been spent by the Parish Council. Not unreasonable you might think, as he, a Member of EBC has a duty to protect the public purse. But low and behold rather than being assisted under the Freedom of Information Act he was sent a request for money upfront before they would give the evidence asked for. A request to view the information first by Cllr Morgan has not yet been replied to.
It may trouble residents to note that should they request information from "their" Parish Council they might suddenly find their name up on the Parish Notice Board! Fame at last for Morgs but I'm not sure a parishioner would appreciate the publicity.
I always thought that publicly funded notice boards shouldn't be used for Party Political propaganda. This is the third attack on the Labour Party published on this notice board. I wouldn't mind so much if it was accurate; but there you go same old bungling Tories. Leopards don't change their spots. Time for some new blood on Ockbrook and Borrowash Council.
