Interested in other Suffolk Firefighter tales then check out “The Suffolk Hyde Affair” athttp://thesuffolkhydeaffair.blogspot.com/
11:00hrs Thursday 22nd October 1998
Location Lowestoft Social Services Dept
Meeting between Wigg, Keith Lynch and his sidekick Heather Marsden.
Purpose: Harassment investigation re the unlawful Deputy Chief fire Officer Simon Smith and other associated activities
Keith Lynch began by introducing his assistant Heather Marsden (according to them that know they were a little bit closer than assistants). He then went on to explain the brief he had been given by the Suffolk County Council Executive Mrs Linda Homer and Derek Lay.
Sub Officer X told Mr Lynch that there was far more to the complaint than what he had just explained in his 10 second summary.
Keith Lynch said that he had been told to stick to the complaint against the Deputy Chief Fire Officer Mr Simon Smith and the proposition that he had acted unlawfully. Any other issues were secondary and minor. Additionally, he had already interviewed the Deputy Chief Fire Officer and his other colleagues. He also said he had been ordered to complete his investigation by this weekend. As such he would be sticking strictly to the terms of reference he had been given and could not consider anything else.
Keith Lynch then told Sub Officer X he should give a outline of his complaint and explain why it amounted to harassment. Sub Officer X did so and told Keith Lynch that the Deputy Chief Officer Simon Smith had acted unlawfully. Furthermore as a result of his comprehensive management experience and extended training he knew full well that his actions were unlawful. Hence a blatant act of harassment. Sub Officer X went on to describe other controversial acts of aggression, falsehood, neglect of duty and malpractice by the Deputy Chief Fire Officers colleagues.
Keith Lynch responded by saying that he had already met with the Deputy, Chief and Assistant Chief Fire Officers who had given him a full update on ongoing issues. He said that he had been told by the Chief Officer that it was ridiculous to claim any Suffolk Fire Officer had acted unlawfully. He said that that was also the position of the County solicitor. Keith Lynch also said that he felt that Deputy Chief Fire Officer was a genuine warm and honest person and without a hint of malice. Keith Lynch said Sub Officer X could still withdraw his complaint if he wished. X said absolutely not and added that Simon Smiths action were unequivocally unlawfully and compatible with his savage behaviour in previous Brigades.
Keith Lynch said he would consider what he had told by Sub Officer X before compiling his report the next day.
Meeting ends 11.15 hours (short and sweet)
