This has just been sent to our newsdesk from Seaford Town Council. Usually we try to re-write press releases to make them more newsy. But, on this occasion, we th0ught we’d just run the release as it came in:
The Town Council met on Thursday 10 April to discuss the Independent Investigators Report. A Committee has been established to deal with the recommendations of the independent investigation. It is expected that this process will take a few weeks. No decision has been made concerning disciplinary action over events that took place dating back to 2010. The Town Clerk’s suspension has been arranged to facilitate the investigation.
This matter is confidential and the Town Council deplores the deliberate breach of confidentiality which has caused distress and reputational damage to the Town Clerk. The Town Clerk has accepted the Council’s apology for this deliberate leak of confidential information and no further statement, comment or information will be made public until the full Council has considered the findings and the process has concluded.
