My complaint against Ruth Betson


I made a complaint against 5 Parish Councillors for not keeping their Register of Interests up to date. The law requires that each Councillor informs the Monitoring Officer of any changes within 28 days.

How this complaint started was having looked at Simon Crocker Register of Interests whether other had done the same. I looked on the Cambourne Parish Council website and found nothing.

(Localism Act 2011 Chapter 7 Section 29 (7) A parish council must, if it has a website, secure that its register is published on its website.)

I looked on the SCDC website and found the Parish Council register of interests.

But there is no Register of Interests for Ruth Betson. Why the reticence at filling in a Register of Interests? Even at the time of writing there is no Regsiter of Interests published on the Cambourne PC website or on the SCDC website.

But Ruth does have a twitter feed and a LinkedIn profile. Ruth must therefore have work or business and these should be included in her Register of Interests.

How they are connected!
Also Ruth signed the nomination form for Simon Crocker at the Bourne by-election in September 2015.
