At the Audit Committee last week it was reported that, whilst it was unusual to grant a single man a three-bedroomed Sandwell Council house at a time of desperate shortage, there had been nothing "inappropriate" with his application and that it had been personally approved by the Director of Housing Services at Sandwell Homes (was this the disgraced Adrian Scarrott or someone else - clarification please? Addendum 31/01/17 - usually reliable sources say Scarrott DID authorise this for Frear.)
Addendum 30/01/17 - Steven Frear was himself a Director of Sandwell Homes Limited 24/05/06 to 21/05/08.
Regulars will recall that this affair was yet another Skidder exclusive. Frear was shacked up with a woman in Whyley Walk but was then granted the three-bedroomed property at Hill Top, Oldbury. By repute, Frear is notoriously impecunious - possibly due to an "exotic" lifestyle. Unbelievably the late Smethwick Scumbag, Darren Cooper, made him Chair of the Planning Committee at "Sadwell" when he appears not to have the intellect nor ability to run a whelk stall but then Cooper and Hussain liked to put yes-men and women in positions of power to do their bidding eg the joke "Chief Executive", Jan Britton.
It is disappointing that Jan Britton's bent paid service have not put the list of the huge expenses claimed by the comrades for March, 2016 on the website - the last figures being for March, 2015 (perhaps Leader Steve Eling can put a boot up Britton's ample arse?) The earlier figures are also conveniently deleted from the website and so I cannot say what Frear was earning at the time of his application but for the year ended March, 2015 he scored a generous £23,758.08 from us taxpayers by way of expenses. Apparently he still qualified for a three-bedroomed council house despite his earnings. Of course, we know that he has also had a well-paid lodger for some of the time - the foul-mouthed social media troll, Paul Kerton. See:

If you haven't got time to read those posts now, suffice to say that Kerton's social media output was vile and that he also colluded with the thuggish Cooper to harass my wife's employers. Happily this nasty individual works with primary school children with a good salary courtesy of his employers, er, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council!!
I am not sure what the rules are about sub-letting Council housing in Sadders but Kerton could certainly afford accommodation in the private sector. But the pair of them, with a joint income bound to be considerably more than £50k per annum, were found to be deserving of public housing from the comrades!
As above, the Audit Committee was told that Frear somehow qualified as a single man for a three-bedroomed home and so the comrades decided, in effect, that nothing more could be done and that there should just be a general tightening of procedures so that such applications are made more "transparent" in future. Specific mention was made that living in Council housing would, in any event, appear in an individual councillor's Register of Interests entry. Clearly, the councillors on the Committee and the Council's statutory officers have not been reading The Skidder properly because the whole point here is that Cllr Andrews/Bloxham/Kerton/Frear did not make such a declaration but had made a false entry in HIS Register of Interests. He stated that he actually personally OWNED the Hill Top property. It was only when The Skidder received information to the contrary that a Land Registry search was undertaken and this was found to be wholly false. (Incidentally, Cllr Rouf made a similar false entry when he sold a property he owned and immediately was housed in a SMBC council house - whilst he may also have had an interest in a Smethwick flat at the time too - see picture!)
I specifically referred Frear's false entry to Sandwell Police (ie separately and not as part of the later bent WMP Fraud investigation). In the absence of a response on this and other related matters I made a complaint to the Independent Police Complaints Commission who upheld my complaint on the basis that WMP/Sandwell Police had taken NO ACTION IN RESPECT OF THE COMPLAINT WHATSOEVER. They have done nothing since either! Still Frear is a close friend of Hussain so enough said....
We are none the wiser how Frear qualified for public housing nor how he was permitted to sub-let to Kerton. It has never been established why he made a false declaration (a potential criminal offence) on the Register. Now his Labour comrades are just washing their hands of all this as per....
Incidentally, whilst there was no suggestion of obvious criminality on the part of Frear a course of conduct which he was connected with WAS specifically referred to the later WMP Fraud investigation [sic] but, as we know, one or more bent coppers pulled that investigation.
The Chief Constable himself is also personally aware of another allegation which may or may not be true.
Of course, the BBC have mostly ignored the fraud and corruption in Sandwell. Frear used to boast of his sexual conquest of a very well-known local BBC personality and so don't expect them to look into his, er, affairs.....
Addendum 30/01/17 - Corrected - Frear is now on the Housing Scrutiny Board!!!!! How do sick Sandwell Labour allow this to happen?????
Addendum 31/01/17 - It now transpires that as a sick joke all those Labour Councillors who attended the full Council meeting on 19th July, 2016 waived Frear's nomination through!
