debate
==================================================

House of
Lords – Motion to Take Note (6 Jan 2015)
http://www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/?id=2015-01-06a.270.0&s=speaker%3A25247#g314.0
Lord
Goddard of Stockport: My Lords, I take great offence at the
suggestion of
being stuffed anywhere by Mr Clegg. I was appointed to
this place from
Greater Manchester on my merits. I went for my tea and
came back at four
o’clock. I get the feeling that no one is speaking
from these Benches because
to do so would be a complete waste of time.
There are 800 turkeys here
refusing to vote for Christmas. Until that…

speaker:Lord Goddard of
Stockport : 1 Lords debate

To my mind a councillor should simply represent the people who elected him. He should not be providing advice on public affairs to a land development company at a time when his council are releasing huge tracts of Green Belt land for development. I have sent the following email to Stockport Council’s Monitoring Officer, Chief Executive and Leader. If I get any sort of response I will be astonished.

Dear Ms Akhtar

I have posted this question up on Twitter and the
date I asked it. A reply from you would be most appreciated (and would knock me
over with a feather too).

I note Goddard declares his interest with Ainsworth
Strategic Land Development in his House of Lords Register of Interests under
Category 3 – Public affairs advice and services to clients. I wonder if a
serving councillor should be paid to provide advice on public affairs to anyone,
never mind a Strategic Land Development company at at time when Goddard,
Derbyshire et al are releasing large tracts of land for development – much
against the wishes of the people of Stockport. Goddard’s involvement with
Ainscough predates his astonishing elevation to the peerage by quite some
time.

Also, please deal with the issue of why he has
declared David Goddard Consulting as his company in his House of Lords Register
of Interests but has stopped declaring it in his Stockport Council Register of
Interests.

It is important that we sort this issue out.
Stockport Councillors need to be seen to be squeaky clean. Impossible I know,
but if we could show they are not utterly bent it would be a start.

With warmest wishes for the New Year

Sheila

STUNELL, Rt Hon Sir Andrew (Hazel Grove)

There is money for the dodgy Stockport LibDems’ road for votes, but none for the truly superb Edgeley Playscheme.

Dear Mrs
Oliver,

I am writing in
response to your email below (ref DP 3152).

The consent you
provided from Mr Parnell was sent to the Council 12 months ago. With this in
mind, I have written to Mr Parnell to confirm that he still consents to the
Council releasing his personal and sensitive personal information to you. If the
Council receives this consent, I will contact you again to confirm that your
request on Mr Parnell’s behalf will proceed, at which point we will require the
statutory £10 fee.

Yours
sincerely,

Claire Naven
