Oh dear, oh dear. I have now heard from £128,000 per annum Head of Legal at Labour Sandwell who says that she has "no reason to believe that Councillor Cashmore has provided a false of misleading address either during her election OR (my emphasis) in her Register of Members' Interests". We shall see....
And as for the false statement about not working - well blow me down with a feather - Cashmore DID update her Register "a few weeks ago" but silly old SMBC haven't had time to upload it onto their website yet - even when they changed her photo over! And so we await a, er, "new" declaration!
But what is this! On the Mosque parking front the AMLD have decided NOT to sell the land at an undervalue at the present time until the development plans for the whole of the Shaftesbury House site are known. They are, however, going to grant the Mosque a license to use the plot as a car park until the whole thing is sorted out (a possible course of action suggested by The Skidder). What is NOT known at the present time is (a) whether the Mosque will actually be making payment for this "license" and, if so, how much (noting that there will have to be the cost of an entrance to Earl Street) and (b) whether SMBC have bothered to consult the residents of Earl Street at all on even this limited plan as they will be affected by it! Of course, "consultation" is not a Sandwell Labour "strong point".
Clearly the #sandwellscrutineers will have to ensure that no dodgy deal slides through unnoticed at a later date!
