Heron Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Is promoting an area as a National Park, when it is not a National Park, an example of low ethical standards? I believe it is, the new job holder could become very busy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 In principle a creditable move but will anyone listen to such a person let alone take any criticism onboard? I'm sure that they will, provided it strengthens that man's level of control but otherwise I really do doubt it. There have been at least two incidents when Authority members stood up for what is right, both members being shown the door but both subsequently finding a way back in, (Knight & Hempsal). The Act dates back to2011, does that mean that the BA has taken nine years to respond? Another, pointless seat polisher? That man does nothing unless it helps his cause, another tool of control. This new position should not be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Are these requirements due to EU doctrines ? There seems to be nationwide a rush to fulfil all these EU rules and regulations before the January deadline when we won’t need to follow them anymore ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another matter which, like straight bananas has nothing to do with the EU, and never die ! Rather it arose from The Lib Con coalition, about which I will hold my tongue ! https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/5959/1896534.pdf 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bytheriver Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Not a full time job - more in line with that of members with a lot of meetings to attend including at neighbouring Authorities - if appointed under the strict criteria laid out could be successful. Incidentally full National Park Status moves a step forward with the issue of this https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-national-parks-and-thousands-of-green-jobs-under-plans-to-build-back-greener?utm_source=4247d3fc-a408-40a3-92c0-7a4786af2c42&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications&utm_content=immediate More details any day ( open the links) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadsAuthority Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Despite what some of the above comments imply it is not a full-time job role or a requirement that the authority has taken 9 years to respond to. This role receives a very modest annual allowance (sub £1000) and is required by all local authorities under the Localism Act 2011. It is not a new role, nor is it specific to the Broads Authority, it is just perhaps the first time we have advertised it on our social media. If you wish to read the same advert from 2016, here it is - https://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/news/appointment-of-independent-persons-for-the-broads-authority From speaking to my colleagues in the Governance team I believe there was a 'retirement'. Here is the relevant section of the act - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/20/section/28/enacted Tom 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauriceMynah Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Oh come on Tom, You should know by now, we never let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory, and if it looks like they might, we use our own facts. It has taken some members here many years of hard work honing our own facts into the the incisive form they are now in. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 What I find distasteful about this is that it appears to apply solely to the Authority members but seemingly not to the Authority officers or its executive. I'm sure that Tom will correct me if I am wrong. The ethics by which we now have a self declared, quasi national park are less than creditable, Heron has raised an entirely valid point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The issue raised by Heron is indeed the crux of the matter, It is to whom he raised it that was questioned. I find myself thinking of the administration of policy, and the policy of administration. and we all know where that was raised... ... don't we?

Heron Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 MM, not sure I fully understand your point. As I understand the way BA and the NBN work, Tom is the BA spokesperson with regard to the forum. Therefore I ask him the question. I know Tom does not call the tune, all I ask of him is the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBerkshireBoy Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I am pretty sure that Tom has explained his postion here and if I was him then I would consider your question to be what some might call a loaded question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
