Dear Miss Spencer

I communicate with you in line with the following NPTCBC value as listed in the NPTCBC Corporate Plan:

"We will be open to challenge and will promote a culture of learning and innovation throughout our organisation."

and ask that you please respond as appropriate in line with the following value:

"We will further strengthen the bonds of collaboration, working with others – including the voluntary, statutory and private sectors to benefit our citizens and communities."

Further to our meeting at the Swansea Magistrates Court and the unavailability for us to record our meeting. I would suggest that your role as a council employee was compromised in an environment that is controlled by the United Kingdom Government and which is also outside of the County Borough of Neath-Port Talbot, (in the City and County of Swansea). I would suggest that this is not in line with the following council value:

"We will conduct the work of the Council in an open and accessible way, ensuring we are properly accountable for the decisions we make."

Your role as a council employee in that environment is clearly not 'open and accessible' and the process of involving the UK Government legal system in a county matter I would suggest is not fit for purpose and I would consider this an act of aggression by the council against my family and other families which I am supporting.

If you consider that the summons I received stated that I should have been given the opportunity to 'show cause', however I was not allowed to do this as the magistrate refused to listen to my prepared statement which I believe showed 'just cause'.

With this in mind I am initiating the process of making you accountable for your actions and refusal to serve my family and my residents group, East Glynneath Residents Against Contamination, in line with the purpose of the council.

"Neath Port Talbot Council exists to serve and represent the interests of its citizens and communities. We strive to improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of all of our people."

and I have added you to our list of corrupt NPTCBC public officials which can be found on-line by following the links from the front page on the website www.walk-around-wales.com.

Miss Lesley Spencer, Council Tax Recovery Department:

Miss Lesley Spencer is aware of corruption within Neath-Port Talbot CBC that has potentially caused the death of residents in Brynhyfryd, Glynneath. There is no evidence that she has followed the Council's staff code of conduct in relation to 'illegal, improper or unethical' actions by council employees as defined in the employee 'code of conduct': Standards: 2.1. Therefore, it must be considered that she is acting together with other corrupt planning officials to support corruption within the council.

For your information, Standards: 2.1 as defined in your employee code of conduct is as follows:

"All employees are expected to give the highest possible standard of service to the public and, where it is part of their duties, to provide appropriate advice to Councillors and fellow employees with impartiality. In the event that an employee becomes aware of activities which that employee believes to be illegal, improper, unethical or otherwise inconsistent with this Code, the employee should report the matter, acting in accordance with the employee’s rights under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, and with the Authority’s confidential reporting procedure, or any other procedure designed for this purpose.

The whistleblowing procedure is set out in the Council’s Anti-Fraud, Corruption and Malpractice Strategy. Such reporting shall be without fear of recrimination. Employees must familiarise themselves with this procedure and should make relevant disclosure strictly in accordance with it."

I refer now to my court appearance:

My recollection of our unrecorded meeting is as follows and I wonder if you could confirm by email the following please:

That we met at the court prior to my appearance.

I laid out in front of you and offered you the opportunity to discuss the 3 research report papers and related information that I had previously submitted to the NPTCBC. I note that you also had copies of the documents amongst the paperwork you produced.

You stated that we did not have time to discuss the papers because the court was waiting.

You were present in Court Room No 1 at Swansea Magistrate's Court on Tuesday 26 July 2022 when I read out to the magistrate the following information from my prepared statement:

"I have refused to pay my council tax as a matter of principle. It is my right as a council tax payer to provide evidence of corruption to the councillors of the council to which I pay my council tax. I have therefore provided 3 research report papers to the Neath-Port Talbot Council that show evidence of the potential historical manslaughter of residents in my street,"

ENDS

You were also present when the magistrate refused to allow me to complete my statement. The remainder of which can be found at appendix 1. (20220726A-ST-RICD-court)

During our meeting, you stated that the planning department had resolved all complaints and queries submitted by us to them.

I am providing you evidence at appendix 2 (20220729R-WB-RICD-SKHU-questions5) that this information is incorrect. On the 2 November 2021 the current Council Leader Stephen Karl Hunt in his role as Chairman of Regeneration and Sustainable Development Scrutiny Committee asked the planning department five questions on our behalf which they refused to answer. To date the planning department still refuse to answer the five questions which relate to current planning applications and recent approvals. This information can also be found on-line.

The information contained in this communication has been published to the Rugby Relics Ltd owned website Walk Around Wales and your name has been added to the Glynneath Contamination Corruption and Social Murder Coalition. We will be making a video called "Puppets of Death" - in which your name and actions will be recorded.

The video is about how neutral interest public officials 'just doing their job' are used as tools to enforce control on behalf of corrupt officials higher up in the chain of command in a public organisation. The net result being that the actions of these public officials contribute to the social murder by government regulations (Democide) of members of the public they are meant to protect.

We will focus in your instance how you used the removal of time to discharge your requirement to provide a duty of care to a group of vulnerable residents within the County Borough in your 'role' as a public servant. You were also witness to the magistrate who also removed this requirement. If we refer to the Court Summons, I was at the court to show 'cause', however I was not allowed to do this.

We will be happy to include a statement or interview with you as part of the video should you wish to appear in it.

If you believe anything we have stated in the communication to be incorrect, please let us know and we will alter it or respond with a counter analysis accordingly.

regards - Dai Richards, East Glynneath Residents Against Contamination and Rugby Relics Ltd.
