It is obvious that councillors and council officers need official government email addresses so that people can’t impersonate them. It is also obvious that the email should pass through an anti spam program that they can access and control. <BR/><BR/>It is also obvious that is should have any computer viruses removed.<BR/><BR/>Any further interference with their emails is bound to spread distrust, it is hardly surprising that so many councillors prefer to use email addresses for council business that do not involve the councils email server.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-33040695463566771432009-01-26T22:25:00.000+00:002009-01-26T22:25:00.000+00:00An interesting situation, Michael.

What I find quietly amusing about all of this TDC 'care' and 'caution' is the time officers spend e-mailing funny pictures, jokes and material amongst themselves, KCC and to friends all over the place, that have nothing whatsoever to do with TDC's work or business. I drew this to the attention of a Councillor about 15 months ago and yet it seems to continue. Nothing wrong with 'filters' with those attachments!<BR/><BR/>(Rick, glad to see you commenting still!)Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-17883691036115468872009-01-26T19:07:00.000+00:002009-01-26T19:07:00.000+00:00There is still no satisfactory reply to the FOI re...There is still no satisfactory reply to the FOI request for details of the disciplinary meeting Cllr Margaret Mortlock called against Cllr George Maison.<BR/><BR/>At that meeting he admitted to running a mail intercept (or snoop) by council officers useful to him. (My source was Cllr Mortlock)<BR/><BR/>At that time Mr William True had instructed solicitors about lax policing and lax planning enforcement against the 6th Thanet Gun Range. And Sericol (Maison's then employer) had recenetly discovered their three decade contamination of the aquifer with cyclohexanone.<BR/><BR/>Why might George have wanted to snoop on mail to the council mmmmmm<BR/><BR/>That's a toughie.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Back to retirement Best wishesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
