Investigate the 3 councillors' conduct by all means, it will be interesting to see where it goes if anywhere, but anyone even slightly familiar with the Cameron House farrago must feel the council officials named deserve heavy scrutiny themselves...

im not clear what could be achieved by this complaint?
The EEN article states that a previous manager of cameron house during the disastrous works and current head of school improvemnt/reform feels that being named in a council meeting is libellous - yet i dont understand how this could be argued; defamation requires a statement to lower the opinion of one person in the eyes of a standard member of the public.
Telling the truth is an absolute defence against defamation, so unless this guy had nothing to do with the cameron house refurb then the councillor who named him has no case to answer.Posted 8 years ago # -
And of course the senior council official who reported the 3 councillors has retired in the meantime...

I know the background to some of this, and it reflects very badly on CEC.
