Public Money Donated to The Madeley and Whitmore Action Group Run by councillors in Madeley Staffs
Dear Madeley Parish Council, Staffordshire,
I refer you to this email sent to myself about outstanding public money situated in a dormant account controlled by the then Chair and current Borough Councillor Gary White.
Questions:
1) Where is this public money?
2) Which bank account is it in?
3) Who has their name on this account to make withdrawals?
Good Evening Deborah,
I sent this email to Sharon and Gary on 1st July (See Below).Sharon responded by saying that she was not part of the group and that I should delete her from my contacts. Gary seems to have ignored it. I replied to Sharon by asking about who she has handed over the job of treasurer to and she has not replied. You can see from the attachments what the action group had in the bank. (£3,409.) I was on the bank mandate but I don’t know who is on it now. I have spoken To Mr John Dale and Mr Brian Vaughan who I know made donations to the group.
It seems that there has been no activity by the action group.

The last post was on the 14th Feb 2019, just as I started my legal action against Gary and Sharon. It received 1 like!
I will call you soon to discuss, because I feel that the group that Gary White says he is the Chairman of, cannot just sit on this money and it should use it to minimise the devastation that HS2 will cause to this area.
Speak soon.
Kind regards,
Frederick Smith

The Parish Clerk only works part time hours and there may be a delay in responding to your email.
Good afternoon Ms Mallender
Thank you for contacting the Parish Council.
The Parish Council is only able to provide information which it holds.
In this instance the Parish Council does not hold any information
falling within the scope of your request and is therefore, unable to
provide the information you have requested.
The Parish Council holds information regarding its own bank accounts and
not those of other groups.
Kind regards

Dear Madeley Parish Council, Staffordshire,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Madeley Parish Council, Staffordshire's handling of my FOI request 'Public Money Donated to The Madeley and Whitmore Action Group Run by councillors in Madeley Staffs'.
It is beyond belief that Madeley Parish Council holds no records on the money raised and where it went given parish councillors were involved in the setting up and running of this group, with their names being on the bank details.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/p...
Yours faithfully,
Deborah Mallender

Good afternoon
Thank you for your email.
The Parish Council was unable to provide the information requested
because it does not have access to that information. A freedom of
information request requires an authority to disclose information held
by them, in this instance the Parish Council did not hold the
information requested.
The Action group is a seperately constituted body which Parish
Councillors were appointed to. The information you have requested may
be available from The Madeley and Whitmore Action Group.
Kind regards
Natalie Lovell
