Dear Mrs Hinder,

I refer to the conversation between myself and a lady called Sian from you department who advised me to contact you in relation to my refusal to pay Council Tax based upon the fact that your organisation are undertaking criminal actions that may have an impact and cause the death of members of my family and of other residents surrounding a toxic waste dump in Glynneath that your council refuse to follow protocol on.

I have also identified the failure of your council to scrutinise the care of children in the Neath Port Talbot area since 2019 when it was first brought to the attention of Cllr Simon Knoyle. Your council are therefore breaching United Nations guidelines for the care of children in the play environment to which the Welsh Government are signatories.

I previously met with one of your staff at the court in Swansea who had this information laid out in front of her. As such your department are guilty of covering this up. I have made this information publicly available on the following web page.

http://www.walk-around-wales.com/county/npt/glynneath/enzo-development/corruption-coalition-heol-y-glyn.htm

I attach the following information previously submitted to the Chief Finance Officer in June 2022 which I believe has not been dealt with. The communication was extensive with many additional documnets that provided evidence to the CFO.

The following note made on the attached communication to the Chief Finance Officer now applies to you.

"If, as per your protocol you summons me to the courts and then instruct bailiffs to act on behalf of the council to recover what you believe to be an outstanding debt, you will be considered to be and shown to be supporting the endangerment of Glynneath residents lives (Corporate Manslaughter) and the abuse of Welsh children contrary to the United Nations Children's Charter. Eventually, my team and/or the relevant authorities will make sure that you personally will be made accountable publicly and legally for your actions. " .

Failure to report this information breaches the NPTCBC Employee Code of Conduct

Standards 2.1 - failure to undertake due diligence and/or report information received in a communication.

I also attach communications from your Council Chief Executive to my MP Christina Rees which consitutes a criminal action based upon the criminal offence Misconduct in Public Office and the Nolan Principles to which she should adhere. (Christina Rees MP who is copied to this email can confirm that this email is original as sent by your Chief Executive.

You will note that the Chief Executive makes an Ad Hominem attack on me personally without providing evidence and then points the MP to my website where she will find all the evidence she needs to understand the criminal actvities of your colleugues.

As per my advice to your Chief Finance Officer, I would that you follow protocol in relation to your staff code of conduct.

Standards 2.1 - undertake due diligence and/or report information received in a communication.

I trust this clarifies the position.

Dear Mrs Hinder

Thank you for the information in relation to my legal requirement to pay council tax, I am fully aware of this, thank you,.

I refer to the information attached to the email which you have received in your role as a NPTCBC employee and would ask if whether or not you have reported this information or intend to report it as is required by your staff code of conduct, I refer here to.......

Standards 2.1..............

2.1 All employees are expected to give the highest possible standard of service to the public and, where it is part of their duties, to provide appropriate advice to Councillors and fellow employees with impartiality. In the event that an employee becomes aware of activities which that employee believes to be illegal, improper, unethical or otherwise inconsistent with this Code, the employee should report the matter, acting in accordance with the employee’s rights under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, and with the Authority’s confidential reporting procedure, or any other procedure designed for this purpose3 . The whistleblowing procedure is set out in the Council’s Anti-Fraud, Corruption and Malpractice Strategy. Such reporting shall be without fear of recrimination. Employees must familiarise themselves with this procedure and should make relevant disclosure strictly in accordance with it.

I have previously provided you with information and have identified the relevance of the information in that it identifies that your Chief Executive, Karen Jones and Chief Finance Officer are covering up crimes that will cause the death of residents in my area and the Chief Finance Officer is also covering up the intentional abuse of children.

The Chief Legal Oficer of NPTC Mr Craig Griffiths is also involved in the cover up of crimes at NPTC and so I suggest that the only way forward for you is with the Public Disclosure Information Act.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/23/contents

If you refuse to act in accordance with your council's staff policy this in effect makes you a criminal and I will of couse make this information public as I have done previously with your colleagues.

I copy Mr Jason Evans of South Wales Evening Post in the hope that he will cover my court appearance.
