Personal statement issued by Cllr Theobald
Bernard Theobald today announced his resignation as Leader of West Lindsey District Council.

Cllr Theobald said " On Tuesday of this week a report appeared in the Lincolnshire Echo under the heading, 'Revealed: The Truth Behind Planning Outcry' claiming that a planning application submitted by me has resulted in an officer's suspension and investigation by the Audit Commission. This report is wholly unfounded and has been passed to my lawyers. However, I am of the opinion that the aspersions cast on my reputation and integrity in that report make my position as Council Leader untenable until these accusations can be properly revoked.

This report not only harms me but I believe, serves to bring the Council and my colleagues into disrepute. I have therefore, with the greatest regret, decided to stand down from my position of Leader of the Council whilst challenging the accuracy and facts in this newspaper report."

I am exercised, Villan, as to your motivation for posting this. - Somewhat reminded of the Peanuts in which Charlie Brown passes on some discrete item of information to Lucy van Pelt, who replies, "Now that I know that, what am I supposed to do?"

Well he happens to serve my area and was meant for people living in the West Lindsey District Council's area in Linconlshire United Kingdom.
So I doubt if it is of interest to you. :-)

OK, thanks, Villan. Just thought, as it was here on this public forum, there might be some more general application that was passing me by.

Other than I remember talking to him about booking Barbara Dixon (seemingly he is her agent) for Faldingworth Live and he told me I couldn't afford her :-)
