Sending Bryn’s car back cost £8,669.84

This week’s £2,000 winner is Mr Allan Knight from Ammanford, lottery number 39223
Pembrokeshire shelled out an eye- watering £8,669.84 to terminate the car lease of disgraced ex-council chief Bryn Parry Jones, it has been revealed.
The information has been released
following an appeal decision made by the Information Commissioner’s Office, following a complaint filed by the BBC.
It ruled that Pembrokeshire
County Council was wrong to refuse the broadcaster’s request under the Freedom of Information Act asking how much former chief executive Bryn Parry-Jones received each month under his council car allowance. The Commissioner said: “In this
particular
case,
the
Commissioner
notes that the individual in question is the most senior paid employee of a large public authority.
The
Commissioner’s opinion is that an individual occupying such a prominent position could reasonably expect a degree of public scrutiny into those aspects of their personal life that cross over into their public serving role.” The Herald revealed that Bryn’s had a council-paid-for Porsche in May last year, and later the national media picked up on the story. On his blog, Cllr Jacob Williams wrote: “Much has been said
since
Bryn’s departure of how much he’s cost the county’s ratepayers. That the public purse took a battering to see the
back of him is common knowledge. Whether he should have received any pay-off at all is an argument you may have to wait until the next council election to settle. Cllr Williams added: “From the
originally approved £332k pay-off he was awarded, the erstwhile chief exec quickly accepted a £50k cut after the Wales Audit Office’s intervention which deemed part of it was unlawful.” “But a lot more than £280k of your money has been spent dealing with the BPJ ‘problem’ – the £9k to return the Porsche early is just the tip of the iceberg. Like the Porsche termination fee, some of the sums are not yet in the public domain.” For more, read

35 previous convictions, many of them for violence. His barrister, Carina Hughes, said he had battled alcoholism but the knowledge that his partner would give birth in the spring had motivated him to change. Judge Chris Vosper said he noted
TWENTY-ONE-year-old
Cornelius Hartevelot of Milford Haven was due to appear before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (Jan 27), but the case was adjourned due to the defendant being sick.
Hartevelot, of Richard John Road,
was to be trailed for assault by beating, as well as harassment and putting in the
fear of violence. Hartevelot assaulted the victim on 18th September 2014 and later made several threats of violence and swore when passing the victim in the street and on social media. The trail was adjourned without
consulting the prosecution, Vaughan Pritchard-Jones. Clearly unhappy with the decision, he stated that if Hartevelot was fit enough to walk
that
that at first Rogers had tried to blame Mr Davies for the violence. And he could not ignore his long record for violence. Judge Vosper said he was sorry
that Rogers would miss the birth of his son but only a sentence of immediate custody could be passed.
through the door, he was fit enough to talk to the court for five minutes. The defence, Mark Layton argued it was a matter of health and
safety for the trail to be adjourned. Mr. Layton stated that they should not take the risk of infecting the other people within the public building. Cornelius Hartevelot’s case was therefore adjourned until February 3.
