BBC Dorset This hurts all of us. there are so many ways to confirm you are paying the right amount of council tax... he failed to carry out any of them... multiple times. he then voted on the council budget without ensuring his council tax is up to date, which is illegal.

"Broadhead voted on the authority's budgets at a time when he was in council tax arrears... Under the Local Government Act, an offence is committed if a councillor votes on any financial or budgetary matters when they are themselves in council tax arrears for two months or more."

Cllr Broadhead proposed the council tax precepts when Council leader in 2023, and scrutinised those precepts as a member of the Overview and Scrutiny Board in 2024 and 2025. It's incredible he didn't notice that he was paying those precepts at a 25% discount.

I've emailed Cllr Philip Broadhead asking him to delete the posts in which he made false stalking accusations against me yesterday. Have also emailed Dorset Police notifying them that Broadhead is making entirely false and libellous allegations against a member of the public.

Town and parish councils are great. Don't let the local BCP tories fool you. facebook.com/share/p/1AnSJH…

Matt's recycling a few old hits

There ought to be an investigation into how and why the Tory and Poole Engage groups, and their contacts, completely rigged the BCP Council survey on town & parish councils - and why the portfolio-holder did so little to rebut their lies and alarmism.
