This is the response from Cllr David Buckley dated 15/10/2025 (10.17 AM) and cc’d to the Clerk and Cllrs Young, Bacon and Glover.


Hi Ewan

I will reply clearly that as the sole trustee of the DRCCT, Datchet parish council do not recognise you or Ms Davies in any capacity in relation to the charity.
The recent unapproved change to the Charity Commission website has no legal bearing on the legal action that is ongoing between yourself and ms Davis v datchet parish council and the DRCCT.
I will reiterate that all communication should be presented by you to your solicitors, who are acting for yourself and ms Davies as individuals, then directed to our legal representatives at Wellers Law Group and not directed at any member or employee of the parish council.
I hope you can adhere to this polite request and that the parish council does not need to take further action on your continuing harassment due to your denial to accept the decisions and facts that you no longer hold any legal positions in the charity. You were removed from office in April 2025 and that position still stands. You continue to stand in the way of a managed transition of management and are harassing, using money from the charity to pay for your personal legal fees and put the parish council into disrepute. This is all caused by your denial of the processes that took place earlier in the year, even though they were carried out under guidance from the legal team specialising in charity law. You are doing this purely out of personal need for yourself and ms Davies, not the charity or the parish council.
We hope you can see the error of your ways and support a managed transition from the old management of the village hall and charity to the new but we withhold our right to take further action on this matter if your denial of the facts continue.

Again we will be communicating all correspondence through your legal representatives and not directly with you to maintain accuracy and legal precedence on the ongoing legal action in hand. I suggest you do the same to protect your personal position on this matter.

Best Regards
Cllr David Buckley
Chairman Datchet Parish Council
Lead Member for Planning Parish Council
Elected Borough Councillor RBWM (May 2023)
Business Champion RBWM 2023-24

DATCHET

The name "Datchet" is thought to be Celtic in origin, and the last part may be related to cet ("wood"). In the Domesday Book it is called "Daceta".lla. Datchet is first mentioned between 990 and 994, when King Ethelred made small grants of land here.

HORTON

The village name "Horton" is a common one in England. It is Old English in origin and derives from the two words horu 'dirt' and tūn 'settlement, farm, estate', presumably meaning 'farm on muddy soil'.In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Hortune.

WRAYSBURY

The village name was traditionally spelt Wyrardisbury; it is Anglo Saxon in origin and means 'Wïgrǣd's fort'. Its name is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wirecesberie and as Wiredesbur in 1195. The name is seen again as Wyrardesbury in 1422.
