The judgement found the Council have a policy of not allowing us to complain. This became apparent during the tribunal cases when the Council refused the victim access to the Council's Grievance Procedures. The Council argued they would take the “... same line ... whatever the nature of the claim”. The Tribunal judged such refusal as discrimination: -
“16.17 ... we [the Tribunal] do not accept the Council would adopt a general policy of non compliance with the law”
This exclusion continues today: on 16 September Council Leader Mary Mears denies us access to the Overview and Scrutiny Commission chaired by Labour Leader Gill Mitchell. However, the Council's own July 2008 Newspaper claims the opposite: -
“We're under scrutiny!... dedicated to holding council decision-makers to account.”
