Come on Mr Chairman, call them to order

Well we know now why there is no For Sale sign at the Victoria Institute.  I understand a rear guard action is being operated by some of the trustees, no idea why really, other than either they are going to find the cash to buy the building themselves or they think they can turn things round and ignore the decision made at the public meeting.  

So what next, more insurance will be due to be paid, more repairs may need doing if we have a bad winter and I suppose worst of all the building will start and look like the old bank, derelict and a blot on the landscape.  How much is in the bank account now?  How much was there when a number of people fended off the sensible decision in 2010?

I will say this, they are only making themselves look idiots if this rear guard action is true and they are not doing themselves any favours.  There was a bit of double dealing going on when they managed to get the Parish Council as a whole removed as trustees from the building and just a few remaining plus a couple of residents with strong views.  You can see why now.  The parish clerk no longer has anything to do with it either, what was the reason for that?

Just in case you are wondering.

  1. At last this new group on the existing parish council are showing their true colours. They are hopelessly incompetent at doing anything. Its about time that the village people woke up to this fact and got rid of them. lets hope that at the next election time that they do just that.
    One person who is on the parish council who I have known for years always said that they would never go on to the parish council, I wonder what changed their mind? I wonder what promise was made to them by the person who is at the so called 'top of the tree' on the council. Just remember the saying, The higher you are, the further you fall.
    So let's see what happens at the next election time.
    Also, the pot of money in the bank must be diminishing at a fast rate so I doubt there will be much left by the next election which will put a great deal of pressure on the next parish council to be able to keep afloat.

  2. Why doesn't someone report the trustees to the Charity Commission for breach of trust?
