It is nearly one year since the Datchet Parish Council Chair and Clerk commenced their failed attempt to hijack the assets of the Datchet Recreation Centre Charity Trust (DRCCT). DPC have now received Notice to Vacate the Parish Office from the DRCCT.
So what’s going on here?
- DPC has no lease or licence for the building
- DPC failed to comply with the DoR* agreement
- DPC confirms that the DRCCT own the building
- DPC has used parish money to fund their failed legal claim
- DPC has refused access for inspection purposes
- DPC has now been served ‘Notice to Vacate’
*Division of Responsibilities
And the irony –
- Datchet Parish Council is already well into an ongoing and very costly two-year legal claim (on its way to Court) to regain control of RBWM land leased to DPC (the Land at Mill Place).
- Datchet Parish Council is simultaneously refusing to vacate a building they do not own, have no lease for and pay no rent.
Talk about ‘double standards‘ and as for the legal costs – guess who pays?
