Two Bristol City Councillors are the subject of a formal complaint from the councilâs ridiculous pair of senior Human Resources bosses Mark âBasharâ Williams and John âBedwetterâ Walsh. This is the result of the councillors standing up for the Councilâs cleaning and security staff, which Cabinet agreed last month should be outsourced to Bristol Waste Company to help disguise a large hole in the companyâs budget.
The BRISTOLIAN hears that Tory councillor Richard âBunterâ Eddy and Lib Dem leader Gary âMeatheadâ Hopkins are presently being investigated by the Councilâs Legal boss âLâilâ Tim OâGara after complaints were received from senior officers about the conduct of a Human Resources Committee on 18 February 2021. Both councillors expressed robust concerns about the outsourcing at the meeting.
The same two councillors were the subject of a formal complaint alleging breach of confidential information three-and-a-half years ago following the controversial departure of former Chief Executive Anna Klonowski. who bagged a reported âGolden goodbyeâ from local taxpayers of ÂŁ98,000. Following an expensive independent investigation, both councillors were cleared of the daft allegation made by present Cabinet Member Cllr Kye âTheâ Dudd.
Bunter has confirmed to friends that he is the âsubject of a complaint under the Membersâ Code of Conductâ and denies any wrongdoing. He also told friends, âI am particularly surprised to receive a complaint from senior officers with telephone-digit salaries with reference to my attempt to defend the interests of some of the Councilâs hardest-working and poorest-paid staff at the Human Resources Committee in February.
The timing of the complaint has also raised eyebrows. No complaint was made in the month following the HR Committee or the outsourcing decision made by Cabinet on 18 March 2021. Instead the managers have waited until the Local Elections to lodge a complaint.
Are this pair of HR scrotes trying to interfere in our election?

Following an independent outside investigation, both Cllrs Eddy and Hopkins were cleared of the allegation made by present Cabinet Member Cllr Kye Dudd.
The âBristolianâ understands that both of them are strenuously denying any wrong-doing or breach of the counhcillorsâ code of conduct in relation to the current allegations.
