Dear Mr Wigglesworth,


I have received your letter dated 3rd June, 1999.

The position conveyed to you in my letter dated 24th May, 1999, remains unchanged.

I am surprised by your apparent anxiety about my role in disciplinary matters. As the Brigades Personnel Manager, it is my duty to be involved. In Mr Hyde’s case, I act on behalf of the Brigade Investigating officer. I hope this puts your mind at rest.

Like you, I would not wish to find it necessary to raise a grievance regarding this matter. Unlike you, I see no reason why you should do so. Indeed, the Grievance procedures specifically exclude disciplinary matters.

I shall be notifying you shortly of a date for Mr. Hyde’s summary hearing. No doubt he is anxious to put this matter behind him.

Yours sincerely



Sarah Davies
Personnel Manager
