Datchet Parish Council has lost the plot. £9,500 for Sentra Security costs and £860.40 to change one door lock? DPC continues to spend money and accumulate costs in its futile and unsubstantiated attempt to hijack the valuable assets of the Datchet Recreation Centre Charity Trust. Led by Cllr David Buckley (Reform UK) and supported by mainly co-opted councillors – the total estimated cost appears to be in the region of £69k but with £38k recoverable from the DRCCT – but only if DPC win the court cases. You may remember that I am unable to access the building since Cllr Buckley broke in and changed the lock on 12/10/2026. I was also one of three Councillors banned from attending the 21/10/2026 meeting by Cllr Denny Loveridge.
Ewan Larcombe DRCCT Chair since April 2019
