Cllr David Buckley (Reform UK) – also known as Dave Buckley and David John Buckley is continuing his futile and unsubstantiated claim that Datchet Parish Council is the DRCCT sole trustee. David – in his position as Chair of Datchet Parish Council and with the support of the Clerk and some Councillors (named here) – is of course using Datchet Parish Council money (total estimated cost = £69k) and resources to progress his claim. You will find the estimated costings at the bottom of this page. This information is clearly marked CONFIDENTIAL but my view is that the public interest is better served by publication.
The April 2025 DPC document states as follows: DPC Chairman David Buckley said – “Datchet Parish Council remains committed to the
objectives of the Datchet Recreation Centre Charitable Trust and to ensuring that the Sabatini
Land and its facilities continue to benefit the community for which they were intended.”
These are the DPC members that voted for this action – David Buckley, Darren Sanders, Caroline Wise, Andrew Clemins, Susan Young, Ian Bacon, Denny Loveridge and Alison Whelan.
David claims to be a successful businessman. I have supplied some details here from Companies House so that you can judge for yourself. David claims to live in Datchet, but I have my doubts. If you bump into him, maybe you could ask him where he lives? And of course David broke into Datchet Hall after dark on Monday 12th October 2026 when one would have expected him to be chairing the Datchet Parish Council Meeting.
