Hi,
I am new to Watchdog and the dirty dealings of our council representatives. The ongoing ice rink saga is probably the only LBRuT scandal I actually know anything about, and that knowledge comes solely from reading the leaflets in the box outside Richard Meacock's shop.
I'd like to put together some web pages that present an easily browseable catalogue of Richmond council's shameful deals and immoral decisions, so that the casual surfer can get the facts as simply as possible. Most residents, myself included, would like to know a lot more about what is going on in the borough, but simply don't have the time to do the research.
So can you help get me started? Please post here or email me directly at rjh@rjh.org.uk. The topic I'd most like to start with is the council housing sell-off ... things I need to put together are a timeline of events, where exactly has the law and/or guidelines been breached, analysis by informed observers, comparable actions of other local councils, a FAQ section for questions like "Who is David Williams?", and so on.
I am happy to organise and publish any contributions you have.
Many thanks,
-- Reuben |
