  • Labour’s Oxford City Council has now implemented a new policy that allows its employees to decline interaction with individuals they find irritating.
    This policy, known as the "vexatious behaviour policy," provides guidelines for council staff and councillors on how to handle individuals who make complaints or inquiries in a manner that is deemed “abusive, persistent and/or vexatious”.
    The policy includes measures such as limiting the frequency of contact between the council and these individuals, as well as requiring a witness to be present during face-to-face meetings.
    Under certain circumstances that are considered "exceptional," the policy permits staff and councillors to completely avoid any contact with a citizen if their safety is deemed to be at risk.
    Mike Graham asks Deputy Council Leader Ed Turner how many Oxford Council staff work from home, after it said workers can ‘refuse contact’ with the public.
    Ed: "People keep calling us... we do this job part-time." Mike: "Maybe that's why people find it so annoying!"

    Some people may be annoying but it's them paying their wages and gold plated final salary pensions, Labour don't care about the working class or the public in general tey're too far up their own backsides and believe that they are better than everyone else, they're showing their true colours and their contempt for those they want and need to put them in power. They used to call he tories the nasty party, well Labour have taken that title from them well and truly.

      Having worked there, albeit 30 years ago, most of the people who were troublesome were on benefits so didn't pay the wages.

    I used to work in the Oxford City centre office in the mid 90s. I can tell you there were a number of tenants who were extremely troublesome, and very manipulative. It was so bad that I chucked it in to go and work in a warehouse.

    Most councils are the same with staff working from home, you walk in to find council tax payment counters closed, with £1000s worth of equipment sitting idle, with one holding the fort on reception, is it deemed that dangerous and infectious to work in a council office today, remember that day the Blond Porky Teller said we have to learn to live with it? or deadly on a Monday but live with it on a Tuesday? that's government guild lines for you "Make it up as you go along"

    If anyone has made the same point, complained about the same issue, or repeated their gripes on the same thing, then there is a natural human reaction to it - we deal with it, no matter how many methods by which it has arrived.
    This is just publicising something which should be internal and a matter of common sense. I guess that, these days, the people working in these places are so dumb, they are unable to organise their workload and recognise a duplicated communication.
    During my working life, this was something which was immediately identifiable and my own brain-power sorted out what was referring to the same problem.....it's called IQ and a bit of intelligence.

    Dealing with difficult situations is part and parcel of their employment status survey.? It is obvious this is a process that will be used to halt conversations with constituents who are asking questions that this council can't, won't or don't want to answer.

    Not feeling safe is subjective, it does not mean their under any threat, it's normally pathetic anxious people scared of their own shadows, who are employed by councils, man up or fade away,
