Hartlepool Council found to have added volunteers of our page to their employee protection register, claiming persons affiliated with our page were "violent", threatening to deny them the use of council services.
At Hartlepool Matters we've today had to undertake an emergency review into our security policy following information which has been brought to our attention....
This is because a data protection request recently made to Hartlepool Borough Council from our legal team has confirmed that this page is being actively monitored by Hartlepool Borough Council & subsequently a number of reports which have been published that have been critical of the local council have then been reported back to council officers where its been found several “meetings” have then taken place in order to ascertain what actions can be done against those who've posted reports that have drawn the spotlight onto one of the north easts most shadiest & disreputable establishments....
We've found that those affiliated to the pages previous incarnations have been added to the councils so called employee protection register, labelled as “violent” with absolutely no evidence to support such claims, with council officers even found to have even been considering withdrawing the bin collection services of those affiliated with the publication of reports of the council on our page....
We have emails of conversations between council officers openly expressing their concerns about the controversial nature of our social media page & what could be dont to silence those who produce the reports which were then published.
The council..... worryingly has access to the names, addresses, & family members of some of our volunteers & are not afraid to brag to other council officers over what they can do to ensure those people are silenced !
One member has had to completely withdraw from social media altogether....
We take this matter extremely seriously,
Supported with our legal team, we are now set to pass the information we have obtained to the relevant authorities & seek to ensure that those who've undertaken such a course of disgusting conduct now be brought to justice.
Criticising your local council should never result in you being ever threatened with the denial of local council services, nor should it ever constitute any member of staff making unsubstantiated allegations of a nature that are highly damaging, libellous & bring the professional reputation of any person working with us into question.
This means now that as we are now actively pursuing legal & possibly criminal charges against the local council in respect of these matters, our page will now be entering a period of inactivity, as its been found that council officers have taken the images of persons affiliated with our page from their personal facebook pages & added them to their so called “employee protection register”.
The images Hartlepool Council have taken have been taken without the consent of any person affiliated with our page, they contain the images of children, family members & even those totally unaffiliated with the page itself & again reaffirms the dangers Hartlepool borough council is to the public, & the lengths they will go to to ensure that this social media page is silenced.
They have addresses of our volunteers & naturally this has impacted on our ability to operate, as people working for us are now fearful of reprisals from those criminals within Hartlepool council who have unfettered access to their personal information. & have stated they have the powers to rain down serious consequences to those who oppose them....
Authority never likes to be challenged...... we've proven this time & time again......We will be back, however it will now be after we've taken a comprehensive period of reflection both to compile the evidence we have received, & then issue prosecutions against those within this disgusting cartel of criminality they call Hartlepool Borough Council & ensuring those persons are swiftly brought to justice.
You will never frighten us...... you've only strengthened our resolve to prove to the good people of this town that you are no longer fit to be called a local authority.... & you are no longer fit to receive public funds
