Abuse of Position? part 6

So here is an email with a helpful list of the location of all synagogues in Barnet

sorry about the quality of this image

Mr Mustard went back and looked at an earlier message when Cllr Dean Cohen asked for a "light touch" in relevant locations in Golders Green ( the area for which he is one of the 3 councillors ) and then he mentioned that this "would apply to other parts of the borough as well."

It looks like Cllr Dean Cohen has been instrumental in changes to policy in other wards which ward councillors may not have been consulted about? I see that copies of some emails have gone to his father, Cllr Melvin Cohen, but not to the third councillor for that ward, Cllr Reuben Thompstone.

I do hope that High Barnet, being devoid of synagogues but well stocked with other places of worship, didn't get the benefit of extra visits by Civil Enforcement Officers ( CEO ) who decided it was easier to stay away from "light touch" areas in order to meet that daily quota of PCNs ( the existence of a quota is denied but a document about it is on this blog )

Yours frugally

Abuse of position? part 2

Does the request "Please can you look into this" mean "Please can you cancel the parking tickets" for anyone who received one?

For readers who don't know, Dorne Kanareck was the Director for Environment and Operations until September 2010, she left in a management restructure after 10 years of service. If you look at the 2010/11 accounts of the council you will find on page 66 that she left with a pay-off of £143,832 although that is listed as being paid to the Director of Environment and Transport ( there was, naturally, no intention to mislead anyone with the change of title ). Dorne was too busy to sign even her forename on emails, just a little "d", and didn't notice that the spellchecker changed "except" to "expect".

Rapidly becoming well known is Mr John McArdle ( a very natty hat you were wearing last night by the way ) who is (still) the Interim Parking Manager. "Interim" in OneBarnetspeak means "for as long as we like, possibly years".

Do you suppose that any tickets got cancelled? Answer in part 3.

Can anyone tell Mr Mustard what a "light touch" is when it comes to parking contraventions? Surely, one is either parked legally or not, and if not, the council should not be turning a selectively blind eye?

Abuse of position?

If a councillor asks for a light touch to be applied to parking regulations, is he abusing his position?
