The Suffolk Fire Experience - Doc 432 Corrupt Suffolk County Councillors

Whos Who in Doc 27?

Roger Belham, Peter Monk and Selwyn Pryor were County Councillors. As of 5th May 2005 at the local government elections Peter Monk was ousted.


Roger Belham Esq Labour Lowestoft
Peter Monk Esq Liberal Dem Wilford (Sth Suffolk)
Selwyn Prior Esq Conservative Stour Valley

These three formed the panel of elected members chosen to judge SubO X. It is unclear who made the choice. That said it is known that they had served as previous panel members. Indeed it is believed they were the panel in the Eddie Brown appeal hearing which had taken place some months earlier. The full details of that case are not to hand. Notwithstanding, it was another controversial case which received local press coverage when Ff Brown was reinstated following dismissal by CFO Malcolm Alcock.

Going back to doc 19 and the have sought advice……..and members, logic and the balance of probabilities might suggest it was the three above who were consulted. Most certainly as Peter Monk is/was responsible for County Fire service matters he might be the principal contact. After all he is in almost daily contact with senior Fire officers. Of course the only individual who could confirm this is the now DCFO K Seager. In consequence, as to whom the members are, that were consulted cannot be established with certainty.

DO Hodge (Chief Fire officer)?
Certainly not the Chief Fire Officer as bracketed by Mr Morgan. His role was as the assistant to Brigade Investigating Officer ACFO K Seager. DO Hodge is now retired.

A J Gillespie Esq., (County Secretary & Solicitor)
Fairly straightforward and as specified. He is still in post and may even now be termed a Senior Solicitor.
SubO A D Wigglesworth
The accused also know as X, courtesy of Professor Roy Lewis’s ACAS report. Retired as of 6th November 2004.

C D Jones Esq (Thompsons Solicitors)
Representative of X, instructed by FBU. Left Thompsons in 2000/2001? and well known for conducting some good legal work on behalf of FBU.

Ff M Hyde.,
Enough said already?

C L Jackson Esq., (County Secretary & Solicitor)
Colleague of A J Gillespie and appointed to act as secretary/clerk to the panel of members. Still with Suffolk County? Note that Suffolk Police now have a C Jackson employed as clerk to the Authority in place of former Suffolk County Council Senior Solicitor Mr Keith Stevens.

R Croft., (Lowestoft Fire Station)
Civilian Audio Visual technician. Responsible for audio tape recording of prosecution hearing.

Lizzie Reynolds
Suffolk County Council administrative officer at County Hall. Responsible for assisting with prosecution arrangements and liaising between parties.


Re par 3 doc 27 and the inference in the statement made By Mr D Morgan. The facts are that X had leave approved by T/ADO Saward granted for 12th April 1999. That was communicated to Miss Reynolds. The reason for the leave was to enable X to attend his Masters Graduation ceremony at Cambridge.
