Merry Christmas unless you are mentioned in the Crowborough Christmas list of shame.



Merry Christmas





I have been very busy over the last few months and simply havnt had the time to devote to blogging.

I would however like to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I was going to wish you all a prosperous New Year but lets face it that simply isnt going to happen is it unless you happen to be an MP .

I would also like to wish the following a very sad Christmas and a very miserable New Year.


Andy Stevens of ASP -wide boy who wants to build crappy houses over every green space in the town.

Crowborough Partnership members-No idea who they are because they are so secretive.

Crowborough Town Council-Unelected and useless at everything apart from spending money they dont have and charging it to the taxpayers.

Sussex Police-who couldnt find their collective arse with both hands.Let J Savile off  when they had a chance to nail him.No more and no less that we expect from Sussex Police.

Crowborough People Forum-anti free speech scumbags who ban anyone with any opinion that doesnt agree with their own.Member of Crowborough partnershit so a plague on their houses x 2.

Crowborough Chamber of Commerce-cunts.

Crowborough Community Association- thieving cunts with £3 million plus of our money going through their thieving little hands.

Crowborough Partnership and Common Purpose share more than just initials.






As we all know Crowborough is a democracy free zone whereby the Town Council is largely unelected and operates outside the public gaze with little or no accountability for its actions.

All policy decisions are made through the Crowborough Partnership and then fed through the council to present to the public.Crowborough Partnership is a group of people that runs the town with absolutely no democratic mandate or oversight,they dont publish the minutes to their meetings and dont publish their accounts despite having a bank account full of taxpayers money.They are equally secretive about who their members are.
Unelected George Moss claims to be Chairman some time and equally unelected Dudley Hutchings claims this dubious honour at other times.

I have never been able to get a definitive list of the organisations that run Crowborough through this shadowy unnaccountable partnership but I have my own list of some which I add to when information comes up.

One of the members I am aware of is Churches Together Sussex which seems to have its lefty evangelical fingers in so many pies including the sinister vigilante force called Street Pastors who like to wander around in their obligatory hi viz jackets to recruit new members whilst pretending to keep the peace.In reality they are no better than scientologists etc in the sinister/ weird religious cult stakes.

Churches together is headed by Ian Chisnal who ran for the PCC job in Sussex .Despite failing to get the PCC job Ian Chisnall still has unminuted and secret meetings with the Police and other authorities to make policy on policing despite having no authority whatsoever to do so.

Secret unminuted meetings and decisions made beyond the authority of those making them has all the hallmarks of Common Purpose the  sinister "education charity" that has infiltrated and undermined all levels of society with the aim of producing "change" in society in what they describe as the post democratic age.In reality it is using mind bending NLP and Marxist Frankfurt School subversion techniques to undermine society and destroy it from the inside.The change they describe is the change from a democratic society to an undemocratic socialist/marxist society within the new communist soviet union aka the EU.

If you want to know more about Common Purpose then go to this website and read for yourself.

Back to Ian Chisnal who by all accounts isnt the brightest candle in the pack -boasts of being a Common Purpose graduate.

So we have a subversive organisation Crowborough Partnership run by people who have known links to a subversive network that has been described as the "glue that allows corruption to occur in the public service".

By concidence Crowborough Partnership and Common Purpose have the same initials which they also share with the Communist Party.It would appear that these marxist scum are hiding in full sight and rubbing our noses in it at the same time.

The tale of Crowborough Common and the Elitist Beacon Golf Club.




The fatheads in charge of the elitist Beacon Golf Course have decided to restrict access to the area of the Golf Course despite it forming part of Crowborough Common an area of over 200 acres of which the Golf Course constitutes a part.

The De La Warr estate sold the land rights to Crowborough Common (including what is now the elitist Golf Course) in 1906 with a condition of sale being that the public access to the entire area would never be restricted.This was later formalised under a declaration of the 1925 Law of Property Act to confirm that public access was allowed for the entire Crowborough Common area.

The elitist fatheads of the Beacon Golf Course are now trying to revoke this declaration and restrict public access across the area of the Common that includes the Golf Course.The only problem is that the condition of sale in 1906 guaratees free access forever and the declaration for the 1925 Property Act cannot be revoked by the elitist Golf Club or anyone else.

Backround for this situation is that the Elitist Beacon Golf Club (they hate being called elitist) tried to build a Car Park on the Common so its overweight members (the majority) didnt have to walk too far from their German elitist cars to the bar and back.After an uproar locally the application was turned down by Wealden Council.This really pissed off the elitists Golf Club because they thought they had bought off the Town Council and even employed (unelected) Cllr Steen as an "adviser" over the matter.

The fathead elitists are now trying to change the status of the common which has been common land for hundreds of years to prevent the plebs from gaining access to their beloved elitist golf club.

Unfortunately what the elitist Golf Club has done will backfire because people will just ignore their pompous proclamations and threatening signs and just continue enjoying the whole of the common as they have for generations.

As well as acting unlawfully the fathead elitists of Crowborough Beacon Golf Club have published a new website which publicly lambasts anyone who objected to their elitist car park plans using peoples names and location.

Strangely enough there has not been a peep from Crowborough (unlected)Town Council over the elitist golf clubs plans to restrict ancient rights of access over the Common .

Cllr Quentin Burch-Shooting fish in a barrel.

Quentin (The Fish) Burch



It really is getting too easy-the non entities that masquerade as our representatives on the unelected town council have given up any pretence of  covering their dirty fingerprints from their dodgy dealings.

Quentin Burch is a co opted council member on Crowborough Town Council so therefore has not been voted in by anyone-preferring instead to get in by the nod and the wink method preferred by the election dodgers and their undemocratic friends on the Crowborough Partnershit.

An insider was telling me about the last sham that passes as a full council meeting these days when even more money was being poured down the black hole marked Crowborough Community Centre.Said insider commented that some Councillors declared an interest as being members of the Conmunity Centre Ass ociation  but were still allowed to take part in the vote to give themselves in effect more taxpayers money.One of those that declared an interest as being part of Crowborough Community Centre was Quentin (the fish) Burch.This was news to me because I wasnt aware that Quentin Burch was a member of CCA2010 but given that he declared that he was he must be.
I thought I would just check out Quentins (no sniggering at the back) on the councils members register of interests to confirm that he is actually a member.
Imagine my shock or should I say glee when I checked his entry on the register of interest only to find out that he hasnt declared his membership of this organisation that gets most of its funding from the Town Council/Taxpayer.

There are 2 possible scenarios here.

1) Quentin Burch is stupid and declared an interest at the beginning of a meeting to say he was a member of an organisation that he actually wasnt.

2)Quentin Burch is stupid by declaring an interest in a meeting when he hasnt registered that same interest on his members interest form.

So Quentin(the fish) Burch  co opted election dodger in the first degree (points finger)





As I said -like shooting fish in a barrel.

Crowborough Community Centre update .



Cllr Larkin the spokesperson for  CCA2010 seems to be  keeping a low profile recently probably because the largely unelected town council has voted to give his pet project  £30,000 to pay for the shortfall on the wages bill plus an additional £13200 of taxpayers money to cover a shortfall in retention(whatever that is).
The undemocratic council voted on it and those that voted for additional taxpayers money includes unelected Cowie,Quentin and our unlawful mayor Cooke who by coincidence are also members of CCA2010.They did all declare an interest but were then allowed to vote for extra money for the very organisation they are part of (how can that be just).
Oh and to complete the dodgy dealings -the old Park Road site was transferred from CCA2010 to the Town Council on the 25/2/13 (without debate) even though there is no proof CCA2010 actually owned it in the first place. Now the town council supposedly owns the property its going to cost £3000 of taxpayers money to fence it off and another £25000 of taxpayers money to clear the site.
The conmunity centre has turned into one huge financial blackhole for the  town and its taxpayers with the unelected council handing over huge sums of our money to their associate members of CCA2010 some of which are on both bodies.
This state of affairs was predicted by many including myself when the Conmunity Centre was being planned.We are now in a position whereby we the taxpayers are into this project for £3.5 million but even that insane figure is not enough to cover the initial cost and ongoing running costs.Now we have the liability of an owning  the Park Road site with the associated ongoing costs of that loaded onto the taxpayer.Given that Park Road isnt part of the local plan I can foresee the Old Centre being another drain on public funds.
Normally socialists  run out of other peoples money to spend-sadly there is still some money to be extracted from the poor old Crowborough tax payers before the well dries up completely .
The community centre should be cut off from any more public money and be forced to start paying back the money owed to the town and its residents.If they are unable to make reasonable payments on the loan then the loan facility should be cancelled and action taken to recover the whole debt as soon as possible.The CCA2010 handing over the park road site is akin to someone not being able to pay their mortgage payments but instead offering their lender a worthless rusty old Ford Cortina in lieu of payment.

Not only are we living in a democracy free zone in the town we are living under a clearly corrupt system that can only be described as tyrannical.

Ashdown Forest and Nitrogen Oxides-The truth.

Where are the trees?




You dont have to be stupid to work in public services but it sure does help.
 
This quote comes from the soviet sounding "Local Plan " drawn up by idiots in the Town Council with help from idiots in Wealden and idiot (expensive) private consultants
 
 
"Increasing development and nitrogen oxide emissions from motor vehicles are threatening the rare heathland ecosystem of the Ashdown Forest"
 
 
Notice how emissions from motor vehicles are named as a threat to the rare heathland ecosystem of the Ashdown Forest.
Before I get onto the total bullshit "vehicle emissions" lets just consider the rare heathland ecosystem which is at threat.The Ashdown Forest used to be a forest-you know with lots of trees-naturally it has never been heathland.A lot of what you see today is the result of industrial activity in the 16th/17th Century when the trees were used to make charcoal which in turn was used for Iron production.
The majority of the tree cover was destroyed during this period to produce what could be described as a post industrial wasteland.
 
Over the last 30 years or so there has been an active campaign by the owners (East Sussex County Council) to convince people that the Ashdown Forest is not actually a Forest but heathland.Rather than restore the Forest back to its original glory the Council and the Conservators have decided that trees (an essential part of a forest) are not needed and need to be grubbed out enabling them to restore the Forest back to how it was at the end of the industrial revolution-soil erosion and all.
What was once luscious forest is now a semi lunar landscape peppered with gorse .
 
Those nominally  in charge of the Forest are now saying that this "unique habitat" which is actually not that unique is being damaged by emissions of nitrogen oxide from vehicles.Firstly nitrogen oxides covers a multitude forms of reactive nitrogen which is the main component of the air we breathe.Cars do emit nitogen oxides but they are not the main source and given that the forest doesnt have huge numbers of vehicles crossing it at any one time its unlikely that they are the main source of this supposed harmful nitrogen oxides.The main source of Nitrogen Oxides in the air is actually the atmosphere where the breakdown of Nitrogen causes Nitrogen Oxides to form quite naturally.This process is accelerated during electrical storms when huge amounts of nitrogen oxides are produced by lightning when N2  (nitrogen gas) atoms are ripped apart and form Nitrogen Oxides.
 
So in short even if the Ashdown Forest is under threat its because the ecosystem we have is not the natural ecosystem (trees are not so sensitive of Nitrogen Oxide levels) .Left to its own devices nature would re establish forest not heathland and only constant management by the conservators enables the heathland to take hold but it doesnt mean it will prosper.
Turning the Ashdown Forest into The Ashdown Heath has been an unmitigated disaster but the people responsible for that disaster will not admit it-they will just seek scapegoats and the biggest scapegoat of them all is the private car which the eco fascists and their agenda 21 "bible" declared war on a long time ago.
I forgot to mention another source of Nitrogen Oxides which seems to have been overlooked and that source is biomass burning beloved by the greenies.

How to get planning permission in Crowborough.

 
 
This is the man that is chairman of the Crowborough Partnership that has Crowborough Town Council as one of its main members and operates from the Town Hall.

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 is also a member of Crowborough Partnership.
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.

Unlawful Mayor.





The very strange case of an unelected co opted member of the largely unelected crowborough town council being appointed Mayor even though its unlawful.

Zombie Police state town-Crowborough.




I often joke about the comparisons of living in Crowborough with living in stasi Communist East Germany but really it is no joke.

In Crowborough free speech is restricted,we are spied on 24 hrs a day via CCTV and the Police decide who can have a valid opinion via the subversive change agent that is Crowborough Partnership.The local press is also a member of this undemocratic group so they shut off any discussions that are not approved by Crowborough Partnership.
Dare to mention that the town is run by a shadowy organisation with no democratic mandate that is as transparent in its dealings as a house brick and you will find yourself having your right to free speech and free association restricted by the secret cabal of marxist post democratic retards that seem to infest public life in the town.
The town council is totally disfunctional given the fact that only 2 of its councillors have been voted in and the Mayor who is a co optee holds the position contrary to the Local Government Act.

If you said that you had been banned from publishing any details of how the town is run,banned from associating with people on the local albeit crap forum website and people would assume you live in some communist hellhole that has never known freedom from an undemocratic leadership that holds the rights and interests of the residents with the utmost contempt.Go on to explain that the Police decides who can express their views and who cant in combination with the bought and paid for lackies in the press and they would be convinced that you are describing a society modelled on North Korea.That opinion is not far from the truth especially when you explain that after challenging the Police on their dodgy figurework you get attacked by aggressive trolls (the online equivalent of the fingermen in V for Vendetta) with the knowledge and consent of the local corrupt Police whose only response is to ban any futher comment on that subject.

If a country was run in the same way as this town it would without a doubt be described as a totalitarian Police state.As Crowborough is not a state the very best you can call it is a totalitarian Police state town.At least the stasi were efficient,smart and intelligent-something that cannot be said for Wealden Police who would find it difficult to spell free society let alone explain it.As for Crowborough partnershit they have done more damage to this town in 2 years than the Germans did during 5 years of total warfare.Even in the darkest days of WW2 democracy was alive and well in Crowborough with a council  working to protect and serve the residents they were elected to represent.
If anyone had created a shadow unelected council designed to subvert normal life and restrict the freedoms of the residents the home guard would have been tasked with rounding them up as 5th columnists and sending them off with the prospect of them facing the rope or firing squad.
How things have changed-the town has been taken over by dark undemocratic forces without firing a shot.If the members of Crowborough Partnership had turned up at the town hall saying that they are now the rulers of this town and that from now on the town would be run by a few unelected leaders for their benefit perhaps people would be aware but undermining democracy is something not done in the open.This is what has happened but CP have been rumbled before completing their not so cunning plan so they are fighting back the only way they know - by repression and restriction of free speech along with the abandoning of a free press.They think they have the town stitched up but in reality CP have been drawn into a pincer movement between freedom and democracy fought online.
Whatever happens next they lose and ultimately freedom and democracy will prevail in our town but until the zombie populace are dragged screaming from come strictly X talent factor that day will not be soon.

Boycott free speech hating Crowborough People.

Boycott
Banning free speech like 1984.



Like every family in Crowborough members of my family have fought and died in both World Wars in order to ensure we could all live in a free and open society.
One of my ancestors was one of the guarantors of the Magna Carta.

How they must be turning in their graves.

Fast forward to 2012 and the country they fought for and died for is just a distant memory.

One of the most basic freedoms and indicators of a free society is freedom of speech.Everyone is entitled to voice their opinions about anything whether others agree or not.
Not anymore sadly is that the case even in a small town like Crowborough.
Crowborough people is a forum run by the local rag and part of northcliffe media whereby residents can voice their opinions on anything.Well when I say anything I mean anything as long as you only mention things that they agree with.Mention anything about the unelected marxists that  infest the town council or the marxists that run the undemocratic crowborough partnership and they will delete your posts and block your account without giving a reason.E mail and ask for a reason and they just ignore you.
Still us plebs will have the last laugh because the established press have had their day with circulation figures falling year on year.The future is most definitely online news linked into social media where free comment is welcomed and censorship unknown.
I have had enough of the crowborough people site and the crummy kent and sussex courier paper.I will not be wasting my time or money on something that is only fit for toilet paper.The future is online and that is where I will be.

I will be boycotting the Crowborough People site and would urge everyone else to do the same.I will be taking my battle for freedom of speech and freedom of life to the next level here and on twitter.

Town Mayor and the Council have had no lawful authority since May.



Here we have a picture of the Town Mayor who has held the position since May having been duly appointed by the members of the council according to the relevant legislation.
Wrong !!! this man has not been Mayor of the town since May because he was not appointed according to the relevant legislation.

The problem is (and its a big problem) is that Mr Cooke is not an elected member-he is a co opted member and according to the legislation LGA 1972 c70 s.15 being a non elected member legally barrs you from holding the position of mayor/deputy mayor given that those posts mean you are actually chairman/deputy chairman of the council.

Oh dear Mr Cooke you have misrepresented yourself as Mayor and continue to do so-your only option is to resign with immediate effect before the word gets out that you are acting and have acted beyond your lawful authority for the last 6 months.This also means that any decisions made by the council for that period under Cookes unlawful chairmanship are also void.

Crowborough-Springfield without the sun or humour.

My account with Crowborough people has been disabled although I have not been informed the reason why nor how long the suspension will be for.

I was trying to think who would have taken offence at anything that I may have written recently.

Wealden Police were top of my list until I realised that one of my posts had disappeared prior to my account being disabled.

The post in question compared people in the Town who think they own the place with Simpson characters.

The three people I used were people who I thought looked like a particular Simpson character see for yourself.



Michael_Cooke__mayor_2_Custom
Unelected Mayor or principle Skinner
 







Unelected member of Crowborough Partnership.

Another unelected member of Crowborough Partnership.

I thought it was just a fun comparison but  some people have an ego the size of a house and the sense of humour of a common purpose graduate .Clearly a sense of humour is not a requisite for unelected unrepresentative "leaders" in the post democratic era.Lighten up and listen up guys-you are not leaders ,the residents are the leaders.Our elected representatives are just that representatives of us the residents.Given that none of you are or have been elected by the residents you are nothing and have no more influence or power than any other resident.If you want to run the town get elected if not stfu and give us all a rest from your socialist ego driven power trip.
Oh and by the way ....

Local paper shows partisan support for undemocratic organisations.

 
 
 
Martin Ellis spokesperson of the undemocratic shadowy self interest group crowborough partnership is looking a bit down in the mouth on the local papers website today.Looking like he found a penny but lost a pound the article tells how Ellis was tasked to get the local businesses to agree that pedestrianisation (actually closing the High Street off completely) was the best thing since sliced bread.The plan was clearly put forward to counter the result from the residents who when asked the same question came up with a resounding NO to the plan.
Since the public NO cp and its associate organisation the chamber of commerce (which Ellis is also a "leader") thought they had enough support from businesses to get a yes from them so they could go ahead regardless of the residents  and their wishes.Unfortunately for Ellis even businesses said no to the scheme so it is well and truly sunk.
 
So despite the best efforts of the not so great and not so good of the town the residents and businesses of Crowborough have delivered their verdict and its a big fat NO.
 
 
Although we can all congratulate ourselves in seeing off this utterly stupid scheme we must be vigilant because I am sure this is not the end to it.In the meantime though well done to everyone who had their say-one up for local democracy and one in the eye of those that seek to subvert it.

Update

Read the comments and it becomes clear why the local paper is not interesting in doing an expose of the undemocratic Crowborough Partnership-they seem to have taken the role of PR for them.

Crowborough Clown Council code of conduct for members is a joke.





Code of conduct for Town Council members is a joke.

6. Members should not place themselves in situations where their honesty may be questioned, should not behave dishonestly and should on all occasions avoid the appearance of such behaviour. Members should declare any private interests relating to their public duties and take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that protects the public interest.

Obviously some didnt get the e mail.Crowborough Partnership chairman applies for planning permission from the planning commitee that has the deputy chairman of the Crowborough Partnership on it who fails to declare an interest or conflict of interest.
Definite resigning issue for the member concerned but will he have the backbone to go- unlikely IMO.

Details here.

The Crowborough Partnership-The Players.


Having set the scene with the previous post lets shine a bit of light on Crowborough Partnership and see what runs for cover.
CP is difficult to  pin down because there seems to be no recent information on their website at all.There have been Town Council minuted references to CP AGMs being held but there are none published beyond 2009/10 and very little published about its membership or accounts.
The address given for CP is actually the Town Hall address which is  interesting in itself and its known that unelected George Moss is supposedly the leader but actually he is only referred as such in paper articles and press releases.

There are 3 CP groups and a chairman represents each group whilst reporting to the overall leader/chairman of the Partnership.

The 3 groups are The Business Group,Town Enhancement Group,Transport and Tourism Group with 3 Chairmen and an overall Chairman Leading  the Partnership.

I am going to concentrate on the Leaders of the Town Enhancement group,Transport and Toursim Group and the Leader of the Partnership itself.
I am leaving out the Business Group and its Chairman because this organisation has been going for sometime and predates the Crowborough Partnership by a number of years.Also the chairman of the business group is actually a democratically elected councillor (not town council) so I am cutting him some slack.

Chairman of the Town Enhancement group is none other than our friend poor old Clive (Dunn)
Wilson who has been co opted in and out of the Town Council like a fiddlers elbow .
Chairman of the Transport and Tourism group is Mike (Toilet )Tollit who seems to have been or still is the Clerk for Rotherfield Parish Council .

Chairman  of the Partnership  is a  Mr Dudley Hutchings who is  a scouser that supposedly runs his own business (sinister CP phrase) "managing change".

For someone who wields a lot of power within the town and is in effect the shadow leader not a lot is known about Mr Hutchings.

More to come on these three .

The Partnership itself organised the towns healthcheck and the town vision document and is now instrumental in pushing it all through despite objections from the public.A partnership would hint at some sort of input from the public on these documents but there isnt.The public get a rigged   consultation to make it seem like they are having a say but at the end of the day all the schemes in the vision document will be implemented by the Crowborough Partnership regardless. The only role the public has is to pay for the schemes through ever rising council tax bills becoming no more than cattle to be used and abused as required.
The organisations /partners that were consulted on the Healthcheck/Vision are as follows





  • The Crowborough Town Council 



  • Crowborough Community Action Group 



  • The Crowborough Town Enhancement Group  



  • Crowborough Community Association 



  • Crowborough Business Group  



  • Wealden District Council  



  • East Sussex County Council   



  • The Sussex Downs and Weald Primary Care Trust 



  • Youth Development Service 



  • Beacon Community College  



  • Uckfield Community Rail Partnership 



  • High Weald AONB Forum



  • Churches Together



  • Wealden Federation of Voluntary Organisations 



  • Sussex Police  



  • Safer Wealden Partnership



  • Eastbourne and District Enterprise Agency Ltd

    So no public input there its all common purpose infected quangos and common purpose infected third sector organisations alongside common purpose infected Local Authorities.
    The top 5 organisations mentioned are all parts of the Crowborough Partnership so its no suprise that their plans were all adopted for the vision document that they will also be responsible for implementing.None of the healthcheck and vision meetings were open to the public and no one outside these organisations have had their say prior to the vision document being published.As such it is the vision of change for the town by the Partnership and no way is it a vision shared with the actual residents of the town.






  • Just a couple of points of interest which may be relevant or may not.

    Kay Moss ex mayor and wife of George Moss works for ESCC at Beacon School and is a trustee of Clued Up which is run by the ESCC Youth development service.
    The new mayor is a member of  Churches together.
    Wheels within wheels.

    The Crowborough Partnership-Subversion Agent.





    It is widely accepted that democracy is largely dead in Crowborough.The Town Council is a sham with only 2 of its members actually voted in yet more and more mad cap projects are rolled out by this unelected cabal with no benefit to the residents at all.The town is bankrupt having borrowed squillions of money for the £3.5 million conmunity centre and for every other looney tune scheme in creation.The unelected council have realised that they are in the financial mire and have recently been trying to land grab and obtain more assets in the form of land and buildings to try and stave off effective bankruptcy.
    Not so long ago the Town had a council full of voted councillors that had the interest of the town at heart without selling its soul to the devil.
    The hollowing out of the Town Council is not by accident though and serves a very important role of being a shell to portray(a false impression of) stability and democracy to those residents that seem to have no capacity to look beyond the facade of the town council.Prod the bloated dead carcass of the Town Council and the rotting corruption is there for all to see and pretty unpleasant it is too.
    This fetid corruption has a name and its name is The Crowborough Partnership.Ask anyone in the town and they will probably have no clue as to what the Crowborough Partnership is and what part it plays in the downfall of local democracy in Crowborough.
    Like all shadowy organisations the Crowborough Partnership(which shares its initials with Common Purpose) likes to operate in the dark away from the spotlight of accountability and publicity.Well they had better prepare themselves because I am about to shine a light of biblical proportions on the organisation and the main players to give some sort of insight into what is going on in our town.I should point out that although I am most interested in Crowborough organisations like Crowborough Partnership (CP) operate in most small towns in the South east with the aim of subverting local democracy.There is even a an umbrella group/quango to oversee the process called SEtowns (click here).Organisations like SEtowns themselves operate within what is called the third sector and are invariably infested with Common Purpose Graduates.The aim of SEtowns and similar organisations is to place change agents within Town Councils to subvert local democracy in order to "change society".To those brought up in the 70s this is recognisable as communist subversion but nowdays rather than the USSR being the puppetmaster behind this it is the EU who funds this through their own (unelected  )regional administration.
    From now on when a new policy or madcap scheme is announced by the council it must be appreciated that the unelected council has no part in the process other than as a conduit to present them to the public as being produced using the democratic process.If people realised that all town council policy is decided via dodgy deals with shadowy organisations like CP and just funneled through the relevant committee to be presented to and rubber stamped by the council "cabinet" I think they would be outraged.
    To spell it out there is no democracy and no accountability in any decisions supposedly coming from the Council.The fact that the council itself is largely unelected is also an outrage because there is no one on the council speaking up for the interests of the residents and electorate.In effect they are all bought men (and women) and just do what they are told and toe the line otherwise they are out.
    A perfect illustration of this is the hated shared space being pushed through by George Moss and the Crowborough Partnership despite getting a resounding no from the residents during the "public consultation".
