This morning I emailed the following to our (unelected) Mayor. No doubt they are already huddled in a room figuring out which lie they can get away with.
Dear Mayor of Leominster,
As you will now be aware, a forged document was presented to Town Councillors last week. Since the purpose of the document was to blacken my reputation and persuade councillors to report me to the Standards Commission, the forgery is malicious and very serious.
I think – just – that this appalling business can be settled without calling in the police force.
Via email and also face to face I have asked the Chairman of the Personnel Committee, cllr Brigadier Peter Jones, to tell me who the forger is. He has refused to answer. As the Chairman who presented the forgery to cllrs, Cllr Jones must - at the very least - resign from the Personnel Committee as he is no longer a fit and proper person to serve the Council in that capacity.
As Mayor, and also as a co-signatory of the forged document, you must know the process whereby the forgery was presented. Accordingly you can easily and swiftly ascertain (if you do not already know) who the forger is. Please make this information available to myself and all other cllrs as a matter of great urgency.
If the forger is a Town Councillor then that person, if they are mindful of the good name of Leominster and its representative body, must now resign from the Council.
Yours faithfully,
