At the Datchet Parish Council Meeting on 9/11/2026 – Cllr David Buckley (Reform UK) claimed to be in control of the Datchet Recreation Centre Charity Trust. By majority vote of the Councillors at the meeting – it was agreed that Datchet Parish Council costs would be recovered from DRCCT funds. We are talking approx. £20k. Surely DPC and DRCCT funds are not only kept in separate accounts but also in different banks and with different authorisations. DPC and DRCCT are two distinct and separate organisations. Can somebody please explain how Cllr Buckley will recover DPC expenditure from the DRCCT accounts? Having changed the Datchet Hall lock again – will Cllr Buckley now be asking for DRCCT income (for example – from Datchet Hall hire) to be diverted into a DPC account?
