Lying Lucy Takes the P*ss!

On 8th September, 2014 the Labour liar Cashmore made a new Declaration in the Sandwell Council Register of Members' Interests. She has finally admitted that she is employed (by a Company owned by the Express and Star) but, incredibly, has again stated in her legal declaration that she is a "non-paying tenant" of her parents, Sandwell Labour Councillors Linda and Roger Horton at xx Hall Road, Smethwick!!!!!

Lying Lucy

Let us have a look at this a bit more closely. Dealing firstly with the employment situation, although she has finally come clean she lied on her previous legal declaration of 17th July, 2012 or else is lying on her LinkedIn "CV". On that important date she states she was working for Prime Time Recruitment in Birmingham. She failed to correct the record when she moved to First Personnel in February, 2013 and when she was promoted by them in March, 2014 as "Regional Manager". That didn't last long and she moved back to branch management with Star Employment Services (owned by the Wolverhampton C-S's) in July, 2014. Again she failed to correct the Register until now.

Two days ago, £128,000 per annum Head of Sandwell Council Legal Neeraj Sharma chose to implicate herself in all this and wrote to me saying that "Cashers" had completed a new Declaration "a few weeks ago" but useless SMBC hadn't had time to put it on the website! How strange then that the Declaration that has now been uploaded is dated 8th September, 2014! Even if all this was true, she has been lying for more than a "few weeks" but from the date of her false Declaration of 17th July, 2012! (Reminder - to give a false/misleading declaration is a criminal offence).

And now to the question of residence. Unfortunately some websites are notoriously inaccurate but the only period where Cashmore seems to appear on the internet for xx Hall Road, Smethwick is 1996 to 2000. She married Dave (who is employed by Labour Sandwell Council) in May, 2002. I believe that they were living together at 14 Shrewton Avenue, Druids Heath, Birmingham from 2003 to December, 2007 when they jointly bought their current home at xxx Lindsworth Road, Kings Norton, Birmingham B30 3RT.

Of course, the liar Cashmore would not have been able to stand for Sandwell Council in 2011 if she did not live or work in Sandwell. This is what the Electoral Commission says in its Guidance Notes as to the residence requirement for would-be councillors:

Qualification 2: occupying as owner or tenant
any land or other premises in the local
authority area

1.6 You must have occupied as owner or tenant any land or
other premises in the local authority area during the whole of 
the 12 months before the day of your nomination and before 
polling day

The 2011 election was on 5th May, 2011 and even if it were true (!) that Cashers was shacking up with Linda & Rog she would have needed to have been there from 6th May, 2010. And yet legal documents at Companies House show that as at 21st June, 2010 she was giving her address as xxx Lindsworth Road! Even in her warped version of events she did not qualify to stand in the election but when I wrote to the Returning Officer for the election (£164,000 per annum Sandwell Council Chief Executive Jan Britton) he replied, "I have no reason to believe that there was any "irregularity" concerning Councillor Cashmore's nomination or election." Ms Sharma has recently WRITTEN saying much the same thing!

The Peopletracer website states that The Liar has been on the electoral roll at xxx Lindsworth Road from 2008 to 2013. I tried to double-check this yesterday but, unfortunately the historic records from 2007 are at the British Library. What I can tell you is the Lucy and Dave are most definitely on the February 2014 Register at xxx Lindsworth Road! Now this creates another problem for Cashers. She and Dave jointly own xxx Lindsworth Road but ownership of property is not the test for voter registration - it is RESIDENCY. To register you must be RESIDENT at the address given. And so if Lucy really was living in Smethwick how can she be registered as being resident at xxx Lindsworth Road? Either she or Sandwell employee Dave have given a legal declaration - probably annually - that they are both resident at Lindsworth whilst in her election nomination papers and the Register (even now) La Cashmore claims that she is not! This is potentially another criminal offence and I have written to Birmingham City Council electoral department asking them to launch an urgent investigation. Perhaps this is something else the local constabulary can also look into!

Clearly the Hortons have been aware of this situation since my first blog on the subject appeared on 3rd July, 2014. I wonder what their view of the situation is.....? Are THEY backing Lucy's claim of Smethwick residence?

September, 2012 - at Lindsworth Road?

I invite anyone with knowledge of The Labour Liar's residence/occupation since the beginning of 2010 to contact me. This woman will not resign and now with her latest Declaration she appears to be putting two fingers up to us all! Bristnall - you've got a brahma here!
