Community Centre-update.
Not content with putting the town into debt for 25 years to pay for the new Community Centre the Council are kindly giving them more of our money to cover a shortfall of income.The unelected Council have kindly given Crowborough Community Centre another £30,000 of our money to cover wages.
Hardly a success - just a huge black hole to chuck endless amounts of taxpayers money in.

Gas gas gas.
Terrible smell of gas around here today.
Its from France where a factory has released a huge quantity of gas additive which gives gas its distinctive smell.
The Police who can be trusted on everything (NOT) says there is nothing to worry about.Even if there is something to worry about what are we going to do stop breathing. Its not quite as harmless as they make out -see here Although there is probably low concentration here (humans are very sensitive to this compound) I wouldnt want to be living near the factory in France-for major leaks they recommend a 4km safety area.

How to get planning permission in Crowborough.
This is the man who wants to demolish his house and build lots of new houses in its place and make lots of money.
This is the man that needs the Town Councils approval for his planing application .
This is the man that put his application in under a company name rather than his own although he still owns the property and lives there.
This is a man that is taking the piss.
This is the man who is an unelected member of the council who is also a senior member of Crowborough Partnership which operates from the Town Hall.
This is the man who is a member and vice chairman of the Town Council on the Planning Committee
that makes decisions on planning applications in the town.
This is the man that knows the other man and his address.
This is the man that failed to declare an interest last time when the planning application from the other man was being considered by the town council.
This is the man that should have declared an interest and had no part in any decision over the planning application for the other man.
This is a man that is taking the piss.
This is the supposedly free press that published an article about the planning application of man 1
seemingly indicating that there is now no objections to man 1s planning application .
This is the supposedly free press that is trying to influence Wealden Council by publishing an article
biased towards man 1.
This is the supposedly free press that is subverting the democratic process with the help of man 1 and man 2.
This is the supposedly free press that is partisan and biased towards Crowborough Partnership and man 1.
This is the supposedly free press that is taking the piss.
This is an absolute disgrace.

LISTEN: Police Taking Action Against Oil Theft - Sovereign FM
LISTEN: Police Taking Action Against Oil Theft - Sovereign FM
Listen to Dick Coates the local Copper in charge of Wealden Police Farce telling us about oil thefts on Sovereign FM.
I think this establishes perfectly the reason why the local Police are so useless.
Dick reasons that oil thefts are more likely in rural areas because less people are around and the tanks are further from the property thus enabling crim to do his dirty work undisturbed.
Clearly Dick is more at home in his native Black Country than rural Sussex if he believes this
utter rubbish.
The reason why oil theft is more likely in rural areas is that its only people living in those areas that have no choice but to get their heating by oil.People in towns and semi rural areas are on the gas mains and dont have any oil to steal but the people in rural sussex have no choice and Mr Crim knows that simple fact . The fact that the commander of Wealden Police shows so little understanding about rural issues indicates that he is way out of his depth outside the metropolis of the West Midlands.
The other reason why rural thefts in general are more likely is the fact that the Police never venture beyond the boundaries of the towns .If you live outside the main towns the response time for plod goes up from time measured in minutes to time measured in hours and days.

Sussex Community Speedwatch.
Community Speedwatch is a scheme whereby local busybodies are employed by Sussex Police to act as stasi agents by monitoring your behaviour when driving.Get clocked by a Stasi Speedwatch scheme and you get a letter,get clocked again and you get another letter,get clocked a third time and they unlawfully put a marker on your car so you are harassed at every opportunity by the Police who clearly have nothing better to do.
Sussex Police state that these schemes are free but as usual they are lying.In fact it costs £3000 to set up every scheme and the Police get a £1000 bung from the taxpayer to cover a third of these costs.Obviously the Police cant afford to fund all the £3000 out of their budgets because they have more imprtant things to do with their money like taking part in gay pride marches and spending most of their days in their nice warm office tweeting (they are not called station cats for nothing).
The Police like to keep their little money making speedwatch scam secret-I got blocked by the utterly useless Wealden Police from their twitter feed for pointing out the dodgy funding arrangements which I obtained from their own documents.When they realised they were busted as well as banning me they also did what every corrupt public organisation does at such times-they try to revise history.
The documents that I obtained the information from were removed from the Police website and if you try to search for Community Speedwatch on their site today strangely it comes up with no results.
I however have a copy of said document and it clearly states ....
" In total, costs would be in the region of £3000. Sussex Police is not in a position to bear the total costs of establishing these schemes and would seek funding through partnership initiatives. Funding maybe available through Crime and Disorder Partnerships (CDRP) or other local partnership arrangements.".Unfortunately I didnt keep the document detailing the breakdown of costs to the taxpayers but they were £3000 in total of which £2000 comes from the taxpayer via the Police and £1000 is given to the Police from the local authority.
The truth is that every time the Police set up a scheme they get £1000 bung from the taxpayer -is it any wonder they are keen to set up a scheme in every town/village in Sussex-you dont need a maths degree to work out theres a huge amount of money to be had here for little or no effort.Where does this money go who knows but it certainly isnt used to catch criminals.Just in Crowborough which is pretty crime free we have..
House Invasion Robbery-Unsolved(after nearly a year)
Old Lady Robbed-Unsolved.
Alleged Sexual Assault-Unsolved.
Clearly there is no money in catching crims but harassing motorists results in an endless taxpayer funded money pit for the Police which provides them with the excuse of sitting on their fat backsides doing nothing all day other than sending letters out,tweeting and munching on endless bacon butties and doughnuts.
Just another example of just how useless Wealden Section of Sussex Police are is the fact that they got a restraining order on someone local because they were sending nasty text messages to the poor sensitive little dears that ponce around pretending to be coppers when they are actually just dickheads on a power trip (PCSOs to you and me).Now I havent got the local plastic plods mobile number so it must have been handed out and if you cant accept a bit of abuse you are in the wrong job.It is unbelievable that the Police has a court order to stop someone communicating with them using the method that they encouraged in the first place.Its almost as bad as Wealden Police encouraging people to engage with them using social media but if you start asking awkward questions they block you.
Another useful little gem is that by their own guidance
3.1 Hand Held Speed Devices( Laser, Speed Ace, etc) should not be used within 200 metres of the start or end of any speed limit.
Useful to know especially if you get a stasi speedwatch letter through your letter box .

Crowborough People Forum-winner of Pyongyang prize.
Crowborough Awards Day.
The second award is the Pyongyang prize for the organisation or individual that has acted against peoples fundamental right of free speech within the town over the last 12 months.
This award is named after Pyongyang to celebrate the strong political links between North Korea and Crowborough.
The winner of the Pyongyang prize is....
Crowborough People Forum.
Crowborough People Forum recognised for its efforts to close down freedom of speech and freedom
of expression in Crowborough especially when it comes to comments about fellow members of Crowborough Partnership such as the Town Council/Police and Crowborough chamber of commerce.
Well deserved winners who get a certificate and voucher for a one way ticket to Pyongyang.
Well done guys keep it up.
Crowborough Partnership -winner of Joseph Stalin award.
CROWBOROUGH AWARDS DAY.
First Award is the Joseph Stalin Award which I will be awarding to the organisation or individual within Crowborough that has contributed most towards the town being the undemocratic ,freedom hating place it is today.
The winner of the Joseph Stalin Award goes to.... wait for it.......
The Crowborough Partnership.
Couldnt be anyone else really because it encompasses all the organisations that hate democracy so much.One of the main members of the Crowborough Partnership is the Town Council that has only 2 elected councillors and uses the unnaccountable undemocratic partnership to push through policies without any democratic accountability.
Crowborough Partnership operates in the shadows and refuses to publish its accounts or the names of its members.
Stalin would be proud of such an undemocratic organisation which makes The Crowborough Partnership such a worthy winner.
A certificate and communist party(Workers Party) membership of North Korea offer will be winging its way to Crowborough Partnership-thats assuming I can actually find an address for them.
