Ex-Mayor cleared of code of conduct breach
FORMER mayor of Immingham Joy Banks has been cleared of breaching the council's code of conduct.
A standards committee panel at Grimsby Town Hall rejected allegations that Mrs Banks, who has since resigned from office, brought the council into disrepute with her behaviour at a function at Immingham Civic Centre in September last year.

After the hearing Mrs Banks, spoke of her "relief" after "six months of pure hell".
But town clerk Dave Jackson, who made the complaint against Mrs Banks, said the decision gave councillors "carte blanche" to act in an unacceptable manner to officers.

“Warrior,
I have often admired some of your views and learnt from them.........however I am looking up the meaning of modesty:
You will never be clever enough to be as brainy as me.
Please lets reserve negative comments for the quasi abolished ITC.”

“Bernard,
There is nothing complicated about it.
In stead of wishing you were a pensioner, you should wish you had a brain. :-)”

“Warrior.
Nice that you've cleared that one up, So we now know that Pensioner IS a pensioner but not a senior citizen.
Great now we know he IS a pensioner even though he recieves a pension that he is entitled to, this really is complicated, wish i was a pensioner.”
