Land Status Ruling - The Verdict

[oafcprozac]

So the land has Charitable Status, but forgive my ignorance but are we still waiting for YET ANOTHER ruling?

 

Clear as mud...

 

[JoeLatics]

What the feck is that supposed to mean?!

[opinions4u]

Superb.

 

So the land is charitable, which they'd already decided.

 

Is the proposed land swap allowed? They haven't decided yet.

 

Idiots.

Idiots.

 

 

Oh, clear as mud now, thanks.

 

FFS; we knew this was a Joke; but it's taking the piss now isnt it. So; now we'll have a committee to decide if the swap is allowed; but that committe will have to go to another committe for their decision; and no doubt another sub-committe or the like will also have a say; and then there are our friends in FRAG who will legally oppose any decison anyway......clear as day eh?

 

e4e

NEVERHAPPENING

[Lookers_Carl]

what a crock of that was.

 

Was it just me who thought that the ruling the club was waiting on was whether to approve the land swap or not?

And of course all the committees and subcommittees can't do anything because of the weather.

Not yet.

[real]

The NIMBYs said it was a charitable trust

Latics / OMBC disagreed.

 

Then latics / OMBC decided to agree so that the land swap could be proposed.

 

So, the Charity Commission have "decided" that it is indeed a charitable trust; which no-one was actually disputing. Well done. How much time did they spend coming up with that?

 

Meh.

 

Does anyone know who in OMBC is supposed to be taking a lead on this debacle of procrastination?

This just sums up the state of affairs in this country. with public bodies pushing pieces of paper from desk to desk on irrelevant no productive tasks;bureacracy gone mad.

Charity Commission and Oldham Council fiddle while OAFC burns.

[trickyrickyholden]

Everyone who works in these public sector "non jobs" should be put in a grinder and their remains used to grit the roads and airport runways.

 

This would be the only service they ever actually provide to the public.

 

Jokers!!!!!

[dish]

It clears up the fact that someone challenged the status but this has been dismissed therefore allowing the councils pending land swap application to move forward EVENTUALLY..... but at least its one step in the right direction.

 

Well said that man....!

Well put.Load of expensive nodding dog jobworths.

That's the current position.

 

Now, as stated in the email from the Charity Commission, the CC has to consider:

 

(1) whether the decision taken by the Failsworth Trust Committee (two Councillors plus one who left the meeting before the decision was taken, after declaring an interest as she had taken part in a cabinet meeting on the subject earlier this year), who did not visit the sites, is a fully informed decision, taking into account all relevant factors, and setting aside irrelevant factors; and

 

(2) whether the Council, which delegated the decision to Councillors, who had been involved in cabinet decisions regarding the proposed stadium development, and did not include Failsworth representation, has taken sufficient steps to manage the various conflicts of interest affecting the proposed transaction.

 

 

The Failsworth residents and Councillors have expressed concern in the rarely-wrong Chron about whether the Trust Committee’s actions will stand up to scrutiny.

 

 

As also stated in the email, the CC will eventually decide one of the following:

 

(i) to proceed based on the information already received; or

 

(ii) to withhold authorisation because certain information is lacking (but leaving it open to the Council to re-apply if the missing information can be supplied); or

 

(iii) to refuse authorisation on the facts as they stand.
