Decision on complaint about Councillor Colin Rosenstiel

"A Cambridge City Council Hearing Panel met today (Wednesday 11
February) to consider a complaint that Councillor Colin Rosenstiel
failed to comply with the Council's Code of Conduct for Councillors.

The complaint was made by the East of England Ambulance Service
following an incident on Jesus Green in June 2007.

A Standards Board for England investigator looked into the complaint and
concluded that Councillor Rosenstiel had breached the Code of Conduct
for Councillors.

Today the Hearing Panel, which is a sub-committee of the Council's
Standards Committee, received the investigator's findings and heard
representations on behalf of Councillor Rosenstiel.

The panel concluded that Councillor Rosenstiel failed to comply with two
provisions of the Council's Code of Conduct for Councillors.

It concluded that Councillor Rosenstiel failed to treat the ambulance
driver involved in the incident with respect and by doing so failed to
comply with paragraph 2(b) of the Council's Code of Conduct for Councillors.

The panel also concluded Councillor Rosenstiel had brought his office of
councillor into disrepute in breach of paragraph 4 of the code.

Having come to these conclusions the panel decided to impose a penalty
on Councillor Rosenstiel.

The panel agreed that Councillor Rosenstiel should send a full personal,
unqualified and unreserved written apology to the East of England
Ambulance Service and the ambulance driver involved in the incident in
June 2007. The form of this apology was agreed with the Hearing Panel.

The panel requested that the apologies were made public. Copies of the
letters of apology from Councillor Rosenstiel are attached:
