Re: Pembrokeshire County Council WITH reference to the above, I should like to draw your attention to the following: According to my thesaurus, “monitoring” as in monitoring officer means to “observe, watch, scrutinise,”
not to place press cuttings in an envelope and not to place that same envelope in the authority’s barrister’s car.
In a perfect world, one might suppose an independent monitoring officer, not paid by the local authority, but by another organisation, might actually exist.
For all of those who need to know what the word independent means, according to my thesaurus, it is the following: “Non-partisan, impartial, neutral”.
