We have been asked to remind Barking CLP again that they are holding monies that do not belong to them.
As has been stated on this blog before Barking CLP some years ago set up a Share Club, not many members contributed to this, but, those that did at least had a chance for a return on their money in the monthly draw.
Tom Fitzhenry holds these funds and is trusted by all, but, we are told that no draw has been held now for well over a year.
Legally Barking CLP and its officers have no right to this money, and to either run the draw now or to close the Share Club the CLP will have to write to ALL share club members who were still contributing at the time of the last draw which we understand was Christmas 2008, even though members may have withdrawn since then.
We have been told that some of these ex members are concerned about the misuse of this funding and that they are seriously considering taking legal advice on this issue.
So we would suggest to Barking CLP the easiest and safest way round this would be to write to the Share Club contribute rs.
The only place you can really go with this is the trading standards office, we used to have one of these in Dagenham many years ago, but like everything else in the labour party unless you have a good treasurer, and honest clp officers everything falls to pieces. A lot of people end up loosing money.
ReplyDeletethere is no point going to london region, or even the central party office all they will say is that it was done locally and nothing to do with them.
best of luck to them trying to find out whats happened to the money but i doubt if they will see it again
