The full document was supplied by the council on request, but without agreement that it was now in the public domain. The request was not an explicitly FOIA request. See 'What do they know' for an expressly FOIA request.
See - "The first part of new two-part series, Michael Portillo’s 200 Years of Railways, airs next Tuesday 16 September at 8pm on BBC2!
We recently welcomed Michael to the National Railway Museum as we mark this momentous year with Railway200 and S&dr200. Look out for our sister museum, Locomotion appearing in the series too!"

Much talked about training on the precept and budgeting had not been provided.
A total surprise to me. Gillian Peacock attended at the table one month before being employed as clerk and rfo.
After this meeting I was removed from the work of the council by the other councillors.
The members of Rugby and Northampton AC seem attracted to the camera.

Agenda Items 1 to 4.
1. Welcome.
2. Apologies for Absence [strange item as the meeting is open and not by legal summons]
3. Approval of the minutes of the parish assembly - 25 April 2022 [The chair stated that everyone had had the opportunity to read the minutes. I pointed out the minutes complete with two appendices had not been posted on the internet. What had been uploaded on 13 July 2022 was without appendices attached. The appendices were uploaded separately on 29 April 2022.]
4. Dunchurch Parish Council - Report by Cllr Tracey Price, Chairman.
Minutes to the previous meeting (April 2022) contained portions plagiarized from the report delivered in April 2019. Tracey Price - current candidate copied directly from the annual report by Peter Eccleson.
Difficult to spot as the chairman's report was referred to as an appendix which was not attached, being posted at another time and placed quite separately from the main minutes.
Fewer people downloaded the 2022 report than attended the 2023 meeting.
I rejected these minutes on the basis that they were not published intact.
Notice the ridicule at my objection. I was named as an objector by Gillian Peacock, but the names of the approvers were not given.
The totally open and unapologetic use of local authorities' resources for personal election advantage.
All existing councillors are being presented as a 'team'.
The electorate is being invited to meet and talk and share views with any of the nine candidates.
All this is the disadvantage of two other candidates, who are NOT existing councillors.
Cllr. Janet Gee-Russell arrived late, did not take up the vacant seat and stayed behind the camera, voting on item 3. Is this to be the last but one 'appearance' of Janet Gee-Russell as parish councillor?
PDF agenda downloaded from DPC website - dated 24 March 2023, document created, published and uploaded 27 March.
DPC policy is to always count Saturdays as working days for the purpose of giving legal notice of meetings.
Public participation is not an agenda item and has not been since the employment of Gillian Peacock as Clerk/R.F.O.
Agenda Item 3. No papers used in the making of the decision were made public with the agenda. The Clerk to advise on the legality of this.
Agenda Item 4. No business published on the agenda and then members were polled to determine if the was a need to exclude the public under the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 to pursue none publicised business.
Annual Parish Assembly reduced to 30 minutes before the next Ordinary Meeting of DPC. The APA is also to be held 10 days before the parish council election and within the legal 'Pre-election period' (formally known as 'Purdah'). All reports by cllrs who are by this time also known to be candidates will be electioneering and an abuse of the APA.
The APA had a dedicated evening in 2018 and 2019. Both were strongly attended. Promotion of both meetings was by flyposting on DPC lampposts by myself. This will not happen this year as it is stated to be illegal and Tracey Price with the village handyman have been and will continue to remove all flyposting.

Having rejected use of Microsoft Teams at the start of lockdown the council is now starting to use it.
Why re-employ Gillian Peacock after her failure to maintain proper accounts?
Gillian Peacock undertook the data entry and not a single invoice was indexed and marked with receipt/payment/authorisation. Invoices were missing and some present were unpaid.
And also failed to maintain the asset register.
There is no one else to pass the buck to.
Missing from the register of parish assets since February 2020 is an iphone. We are reassured by Tracey Price that it is now accounted for and then - Tracey Price who approved the Peacock expenses since February 2020 ask innocently how the clerks iphone and calls are paid for.
The deletion of council records requires further explanation.
There was no recovery at source, just the good fortune to have previously passed the files to another.
Nothing in the report by Tracey Price demonstrated good information management.
I fully believe the last DPC clerk (Tracie Ball) when she told me she would stand firmly for transparency in public matters of the DPC.
And was extremely surprised and disappointed that notice had been given - terminating one working week after the illegal extra-ordinary meeting on 16 Dec.
On the 12 Dec. (see video) the council felt an extra-ordinary meeting was necessary. The clerk offered to organise and was snubbed. Immediately after the same meeting a summons for an extra-ordinary meeting on 16 Dec. was published (only on web site) for one purpose.
At the extra-ordinary meeting (the clerk was not present) there were two items of business - the additional item was not on the agenda but was verbally stated to be a staffing issue requiring exclusion of the public.
On the 15 Dec. the clerk had not been made aware of the extra-ordinary meeting and was to enquire on the need to publish notice of meeting in a conspicuous public place.
We are told at this meeting (9 Jan.) that a staffing decision made on the 16th Dec. was as a result of discussions of the Staffing Committee[sic] on the 9 Dec.
Gillian Peacock is still a drain on the councils resources.
What we learn this month is that Peacock is charging the council monthly for planning advice and providing DPC responses to planning applications notified in the parish. £520 for November, £660 for December. I noted that DPC has no duty to respond and incur these costs, yet there are parish assets not being maintained.
The meeting began at 4.30pm.
It was pointed out that the condition of the emergency lighting indicated it was not working and the building was therefore unfit for holding a public meeting - No response. I.E. no charging light showing and no emergency light on. This was also the case on 14 March. A power cut during a PC meeting. The meeting continued by the light of Cllrs. mobile phones.
It was pointed out that the law on giving notice had not been complied with, ie the proper officer did not provide in a conspicuous place a notice giving time, place and agenda. Additionally to be displayed THREE whole days before a meeting.
The proper officer - the clerk - Tracie Ball (also parish councillor of 4 1/2 years standing at Wolston) failed to attend and take minutes.
The minutes were taken by Cllr. Howard Marsh.
Cara Martin stated she was honest.
Has anyone else been given the same treatment?
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely - Discovered the day after Remembrance Day - actions of Dunchurch Parish Council - having already blocked me from leaving reactions and comments (but able to share and thus comment) I am now blocked from any access to the public Facebook page.
Note, 23 November 2022. Dunchurch Parish Council asked to remove FB restrictions.
Note, 2 December 2022. Full access is found to be restored to see, comment, react and share. See test comment. No communication from D.P.C.
Note, 8 March 2023. No access to Dunchurch Parish Council Facebook page whatsoever. The council has used their power to block me. Their page/all content is not visible to me.
11 September 2022. Rugby. After the reading of The Accession Proclamation.
Paul Le Poidevin resigned. But when?
Not in view. Nicholas Peacock, seven other members of the public.
Three members of the public includes Nicholas Peacock.

In 2018 legal advice was given that D.P.C. should register the title in the land. In 2020 D.P.C. resolved to do this. As of April 2022, D.P.C. is unable to sensibly answer a query in public on this resolution.
Power cut. Emergency lighting failed to work. Meeting continued.
