(THIS MOTION WAS PREVIOUSLY REFUSED FOR 9/11/2026 DPC MEETING AGENDA)
To consider a Motion of No Confidence in Cllr David Buckley (Reform UK) – Chair of Datchet Parish Council
To review actions by and expenditure incurred by Cllr David Buckley – in particular the Datchet Hall break-in on the night of 12th October 2026. Cllr Buckley would or should have Chaired the Parish Council Meeting, but was instead drilling the lock – after dark – at Datchet Hall. This incident is the subject of a Crime Report submitted to Thames Valley Police. Who authorised the costs of the locksmith (over £800) and 24 hour security (£9,500)? In addition – the mediation service was supposed to be free but Datchet Parish Council costs exceeded £9k.
By majority vote it was agreed at the DPC Meeting on 9/11/2026 that these costs would be recovered from DRCCT funds. How will this happen?
