Dear Y,

FIRE SERVICES (DISCIPLINE) REGULATIONS 1985 – THREE CHARGES – (1) INSUBORDINATION, (2) DISOBEDIENCE TO ORDERS AND (3) ABSENCE FROM DUTY

I am now able to confirm my colleague, Lizzie Reynolds’, telephone call that this hearing has been arranged for 9.30am on the 12th and 13th April 1999 in the Committee Room, St Helen Court, here at County Hall.
Rooms in close proximity have also been reserved for witnesses and final details on those and other arrangements will be notified later.

Sub Officer Wigglesworth raised some doubt with Miss Reynolds on the first of these two dates but gave no reason therefore, and in view of the problems already experienced in allocating mutually acceptable dates, I would ask that Mr Jones takes every reasonable step to ensure that the hearing can start on the 12th April.

In accordance with the Regulations I am obliged to confirm arrangements with the witnesses and, so far as Sub Officer Wigglesworth’s requirements are concerned, I look forward to Mr Jones responding to my earlier letter of the 20th January 1999.

A full case File will be circulated as soon as possible and if you have any queries at this stage please do not hesitate to contact either Chris Jackson (01473) 584114 or me (01473) 584102.

Yours sincerely

David Morgan
