Lion Farm Fields - ASDA Money????

In the social club at Lion Farm Fields the bent Labour Council put up a sign (pictured) boasting how they had given the fields to the people of Sandwell "forever". But with these lying "socialist" sh*ts "forever" means FIVE (yes, 5) months before Cllrs Hussain and Hackett agreed to try and sell the land to property developer, Jeremy Knight Adams. Soon afterwards the deal was approved by current "Leader" Steve "The Milkman" Eling and Tom Watson MP's puppet in the SMBC "Cabinet", Paul Moore (with others).

The deeply corrupt Council are currently STILL refusing to disclose the Trust Deed (despite pressure from just one solitary councillor apparently) and Fields in Trust are refusing to release it without the bent Council's agreement which they currently will not give. Ask yourselves why that is folks....

The plaque also seems to indicate the involvement of ASDA in all this but when Oldbury man Pete Durnell, Acting Chair of the Save Lion Farm Fields Campaign, contacted them they were very coy about the whole scheme and also declined to say how much they put into all this!

The beleaguered Herr Eling promised transparency when he became Leader but continues to try and hide this fraudulent transaction under "Junction 2 Regeneration". He and Moore pushed this project forward in November and January and many of you will now be aware that surveyors were out on the Fields last week. But all we are getting is more "secrets and lies". The failing Council has STILL not answered my main Freedom of Information Act (FOI) request despite the Office of the Information Commissioner writing to them to do so on 11th May. Labour is once again p*ssing on you folks and telling you it is raining....

But another FOI has been answered and seems to raise more questions than answers. It now appears that only PART of the Fields may be subject to the Trust. You will see from the following that Fields in Trust held a covenant relating to land where bent Labour have built the Portway Leisure Centre and that they transferred the covenant to PART of Lion Farm and other venues (including, ironically, Londonderry Fields which Eling also wants to destroy now.) It is essential that folk continue to lobby local councillors for the full details of  exactly what is in Trust and what isn't!

The original decision was made by Councillor Ian Jones in 2010 and is set out below but another strange feature is that the sleazy "socialists" say they had no communication with ASDA or the ASDA Foundation at all with regard to any of this either orally or in writing and they received no monies or other benefits in kind from them! This begs the question why they put up a plaque boasting of being in "partnership" with ASDA!!!

It is possible that ASDA did give money to Fields in Trust relating to Lion Farm but neither of them have commented hitherto. If money was given where the hell is it? These two organisations need to start giving some answers here!

The Save Lion Farm Fields Campaign will be organising a proper demo at the Fields in due course but invite supporters to show their disgust at this deal at Oldbury Council House tomorrow night at 4.45 to 5.45 (before the ghastly mayor-making "show"). Please come along if you can as things are now moving quickly and these sleazebags need to know the strength of local feeling. Please bring some signs etc if you come and make sure you also come and have a word with The Skidder and Pete Durnell.
