In a recent Tribunal judgement involving a freedom of information request made to Wirral Council by Paul Cardin, there has been official confirmation that the ~£48,000 payout by Wirral Council to a former employee was to Emma Degg (referred to in the judgement as X).

Emma Degg was a chief officer at Wirral Council. She was the Head of Neighbourhoods and Engagement on a salary of between £77,697 and £86,330.

It has been revealed in the judgement that before leaving Wirral Council Emma Degg signed a confidential compromise agreement with Wirral Council. This compromise agreement included not revealing the amount she was paid to leave Wirral Council or the date she was paid it.

The FOI request along with Wirral Council’s responses can be read on the whatdotheyknow.com website and ICO decision notice FS50522678 can be found on ICO’s website.

Mr. Cardin’s appeal to the Tribunal was dismissed. The judgement stated that the Article 8 (privacy) rights of Emma Degg was a factor in favour of not disclosing the information.

The Tribunal upheld ICO’s decision notice FS50522678 that the information requested should be withheld on grounds that it constitutes personal information.

  1. Not bad for someone who was in tourism at first. Do you think it was because she had been a city councillor in Chester and before that she was a researcher for Mo Mowlam,and she knows where Wirral ‘buried the bodies’ or she had ‘friendly relationships? It seems that to progress in Wirral you need to be a Party animal!!

    I thought the wench that thought they named a fart gallery after her was the worst in a horrible gang but I forgot about how similar types are attracted.

    By far and away the worst and not to be surprised linked to the scum bag weasel “The Pretend Friend”.

    Selling out for £30,000.00+.

    A disgrace to her career, not to mention Florence, and as evil and slimy as him.

    And so proud of it flaunting her vulgarity on the front page of their rubbish propaganda sheet.

    “THIRTY-FIVE years ago, when I first qualified as a nurse, the provision of care was reasonably straight forward”.

    “Fresh out of nursing school, I went straight to work in our local hospital”.

    My mother John was a senior nursing sister in St Helens, Clatterbridge and New South Wales all of her life and John she would be turning in her grave at this vile specimen.

    This nurse at the clowncil was made for that weasel of a stab you in the back welsh leprechaun and he was made for her.

    Who would turn their backs on these people for a few bob?

    Ooroo

    I just couldn’t imagine any decent person doing this to these people who the *uck does she think she is ……………some nurse!

    I spent 12 days in hospital just before Xmas and watched caring people and nothing like this cruddish vile uncaring ****

    John, if I get hit by a Misery Travel bus or “Crapapples” outside the Clown Hall after the next Fudge It and Risk It Mis-Management Committee Meeting and she is about please tell her next time you see her not to come near.

    I see “Crapapple” wasn’t the thicker than the chair, chair, of the Fudge It and Risk It Mis-Management Committee the other night.

    Was he practising his curtseying in front of queen Eric for his royal visit or did they just send him out early to get his little bus with square wheels warmed up ready to take them all to the pub?

    And of course to check he hadn’t left any kiddies in their with the leaflets to vote for Jimbo.

    Ooroo

    Oh he had such a great political future till his mates shafted him.

    I digress

    When they are doing dreadful things John how much are they giving to places like Tranmere Rovers etc through The Chamber Pot and other little schemes that Grant (Chocolate Tea Pot) Thornton wouldn’t even consider.

    And if they did consider they would be told to mind their own business.

    Ooroo

    James

    How many Tranmere shirts has AdderleyDadderleyDooLally got in his bar??????

  9. G’day John

    I would just like this morning to thank you on behalf of Wirrallians for putting this blog up.

    I do know how much I use you for our cause but I am sure not many read me.

    I wouldn’t.

    But your items are brilliant and it is so necessary with what they get up to with all their scams like The Chamber Pot and other funds with their “journal entries” for using and abusing the peoples money.

    Please keep it up John and I promise when they fully resolve Wirral “Funny” Bizz you will never hear from me again, other than Xmas wishes.

    Ooroo

    And, with a great big smile.
