DPC hostile takeover of DRCCT

Posted on October 15, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

Today the position is that Datchet Parish Council (DPC) has used a locksmith and broken in to the Datchet Hall.  DPC is using 24 hour security guards to ensure that the DRCCT trustees are unable to access the building.  I will repeat that DPC continues to benefit from the use of DRCCT charity assets without lease, licence or payment of rent.  This is a conflict of interest that results in a benefit to Datchet Parish Council.  There are also unresolved problems with the Datchet Football Club lease (expired) and the Datchet United Charities lease (vitiate).  My complaint is still with the External Auditor.  DPC were not, are not and never can be Trustees of the DRCCT in accordance with LGA 1972(139)3.
