Jan Britton's Tipton Teaser!

There must be an innocent explanation for what follows but the Sandwell Labour Dictatorship's £157.192 per annum "Chief Executive" ("Lol") Jan Britton won't say. So here goes......

Two anonymous informants asked me to investigate what was going on about some old "temporary" buildings in Jubilee Park, Tipton and bizarrely, and possibly inaccurately, referred me to SMBC employee John Satchwell and to Labour's Cllr Derek Rowley. The story was that the Sandwell Labour "comrades" had declared them to be "surplus to requirements" (just like the bits of land Jan Britton's seemingly out of control staff sold to sons of Councillors Hussain and Rouf).

But the curious thing is that even though I understand that the buildings (apparently in excellent condition) are still in situ they were recently advertised for sale by a Tipton publican on Facebook (who also stated that he was going to put them on Ebay if there were no takers). Here is the actual "advert" from Tipton's Mr Tom Arnold who apparently had full details of them, measurements etc:

The buildings are apparently mint with all facilities and so one wonders if they do indeed belong to us taxpayers (a) why SMBC are getting shot and (b) why they appear to be on sale at a very reasonable price (again, like the land sold to sons of Cllrs Rouf and Hussain!). I am also sure that publican Mr Arnold, whoever he is, will contact me to explain why he is involved as no-one at SMBC will respond. Clearly, if these buildings still belong to us - the people - he is holding himself out as the owner or official agent for SMBC. Perhaps he is the owner in which case, where were these buildings advertised for sale by Jan's superb staff? If he is selling as an agent for Sandwell, when was he instructed and what qualifications does he have for selling publicly-owned property? Did Jan know the property was to be flogged via Facebook/Ebay?

On 29th March I emailed Mr Satchwell (who figured so prominently in the Sandwell Labour fireworks accident fiasco) and copied in Britton himself:

"Dear Mr Satchwell,

I am told you are the "man in the know" for this query. Can you please tell me whether these buildings are ex-SMBC property and, if so, where they were situated? If ex-SMBC, what happened to them please?"

In the absence of a response I emailed ex-Mayor Rowley and again copied in Satchwell and Jan Britton:

"Dear Cllr,

I am told you may have information about these buildings?

This is an email I sent to John Satchwell two days ago (copy to Britton) but I have not received a response?

Dear Mr Satchwell,

I am told you are the "man in the know" for this query. Can you please tell me whether these buildings are ex-SMBC property and, if so, where they were situated? If ex-SMBC, what happened to them please?"

But answer came there none! Come on Jan the Man - just tell us what is happening here - it is that simple!

Addendum 06/04/216 I am surprised Derek Rowley can't find out what is going on as Tom Arnold has been his near neighbour for very many years!

Addendum 07/04/2016 No response as yet from Jan Britton (nor Rowley) but in the meantime another informant has suggested I investigate the history of four shipping containers which have already been sold and removed from the same site. I am asking SMBC about this. I have also received a mocking message from Mr Arnold:
