Back in 2010 the loony Labour lefties tendered for the provision of taxi services in Sandwell to run to 31/08/13 (31st August may, perhaps, be a significant date). Incredibly they priced the tender in the official notice at £18 million but then they had been raking in lots of Government loot during the Blair/Brown years and were spending like drunken sailors (apologies to inebriated mariners).
Now Five Star Taxis (half owned by Councillor Hussain and family) either didn't tender for the work at this stage or tendered and were rejected (yes, ok, the latter scenario seems unlikely). But the fact of the matter is that the contract was recorded in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) 11166-2011 OJEU s008, 13.01.11 and a number of local firms were awarded the work.
(Just as an aside, if you are wondering where you might have seen OJEU Notices before - this was the fiddle Sandwell Labour relied on to gift the multi-million pound Public conversion contract to Interserve without putting it out to tender).
Now Five Star were NOT named as a contracting party in the OJEU Notice and yet, somehow, they came to be allowed into the contract in 2012. I have been searching for documentation regarding this to no avail. It could be that Five Star took over a firm that was already a named party but I just don't know at this stage. I am asking Sandwell Council (don't hold your breath). Of course, the clown Cooper was now "in charge" of the circus.
Clearly it would be a good thing to get in on the contract with a year to go and with the expectation of then being able to participate in the tendering for the next three year period. I speculated in my earlier blogs that the contract was from 1st September, 2012 since Deputy "Leader" Mahboob Hussain gave up the Company secretaryship on 31st August, 2012 and transferred his remaining shareholding on the same date.
Now there must have been some slight hiatus around 31st August, 2013 because the incompetent "socialists" did not grant the new contract until 30th January, 2014 to take effect from 24th February, 2014. I am assuming that the original firms just kept working as normal in the intervening period. Certainly Five star continued to rake in the cash. But Five Star went through some sort of "tendering process" (AGAIN) at SMBC but no-one apparently saw a conflict of interest - if the Hussain family shareholding was ever declared. And if it was not - well that is why the Police need to take a look at all this. Let's hope no SMBC employees are implicated in any way.
BUT WHAT JOY! NOW FIVE STAR WERE LEGIT AS THEY WERE A NAMED PARTY TO THE CONTRACT VIA OJEU AWARD 52293 - 2014! The contract runs until 23rd February, 2017 with the option to extend for a further year!
Sadly, the winds of change have been blowing financially and the value of the three year contract is down from £18m to, er £3.4m!!!! ADDENDUM 25/09/14 - CORRECTION - SMBC documents say this is actually £3.5m PER ANNUM ie £10.5m in all.
In the last financial year Five Star earned a minimum of £60,471.75p from Labour which would normally (being in excess of £60,001) trigger a referral to the Cabinet Member responsible (presumably Comrade Crompton) but I am sure they will say that rule doesn't apply as the tender was all done via OJEU Notice! Of course. they have had just short of £100 grand in all.
Now Hussain has not disclosed his or his family's interest in Five Star via the SMBC website nor via his Declaration in the Register of Members' Interests. I am sure he wouldn't use his influence (cough) to force SMBC to give Five Star extra work but they are in for a decent share of £3.4m (Correction as above 25/09/14 - now share of £10.5m) until February, 2017. Why the mainstream media are not picking up on this scandal is beyond me but the least I can do is put the facts before you.
Finally, there seems to be some incredulity regarding the Hussain family's shareholdings in Five Star and so here are the relevant edited details from the actual Companies House Records. Now you see it - now you don't - then you do again!
Save that Hussain's son, Adnan, makes a brief appearance it as as previously stated:
Company 06657553 - Five Star Taxis and Minibuses Limited
Councillor Mahboob Hussain starts with a 30% shareholding and his wife, Nasreen Begum 20%:
Annual Return 23/04/10 Mrs Hussain (Nasreen Begum) 20%; Councillor Mahboob Hussain 10%; Son - Adnan Hussain 20% (seemingly acquired from Daddy on 28th July, 2008).
Annual Return 23/04/2011 Mrs Hussain (Nasreen Begum) 20%; Councillor Mahboob Hussain 10%; Son - Adnan Hussain 20%;
Annual Return 09/10/12 (bit late this one......) Mrs Hussain (Nasreen Begum) 20%; Councillor Hussain 0% Having disposed of 10% shareholding to daughter 31/08/12; Son - Adnan Hussain 0% having disposed of 20% on 1st September, 2011 - presumably to his Sister (Councillor Hussain's daughter) Shasta Parveen who now holds Hussain's original 30%;
Annual return 09/10/13 Mrs Hussain 20%; Daughter - Shasta Parveen 30%;
Annual return 22/07/14 (after the award of the new contract via the OJEU Notice) Mrs Hussain 20%; Daughter Shasta Parveen 0% and dear old Councillor Mahboob Hussain 30% again!
Maybe he thought he was untouchable having bagged the new three/four year contract? Whatever. He certainly is one arrogant f**cking cock (pardon my French)!

Hussain Taxi Scandal Latest!
In last night's post I pointed out the murky circumstances surrounding the award of a contract (worth £100k so far) by Labour Sandwell Council to Five Star Taxis.
This morning I have risen from my sick bed again and can provide you with more shocking relevations.
The first payment under the contract was made on 1st October, 2012 and one must assume that this was for work done by Five Star in September, 2012. At this stage we do not know what tendering or other procurement process was undertaken by Sandwell's sleazy "socialists" but obviously there must have been a course of, er, "negotiations" before September, 2012. This makes sense if the contract started on 1st September, 2012 since Mahboob Hussain, one of Labour's Deputy "Leaders", actually resigned as Company Secretary on 31st August, 2012 (but, as above, one must assume there where some ongoing pre-contract dealings when he still WAS Company Secretary). The resignation was not actually registered by Companies House until 9th October, 2012 when the contract was up and running.
Readers of yesterday's blog will know that Husssain was, however, also the majority SHAREHOLDER in Five Star although he managed to omit this fact from his
Declaraion of Interests. Then his shares were transferred to one Shasta Parveen.
In fact, the transfer of the shareholding process was a two-stage affair. Hussain had 30 of the 100 shares and transferred 20 to Shasta Parveen on 1st September, 2011. The reason for this is not immediately clear. Hussain kept 10 shares in his own name during the presumed pre-contract negotiations since he only transferred them to Shasta Parveen on the eve of the Sandwell Council contract starting and on the same day he resigned the Company Secretaryship ie 31st August, 2012.
Lest we forget, during the whole period of the contract to at least 22nd July, 2014 another 20% of the shares were held by Nasreen Begum - who shares the same name as Mahboob Hussain's wife. In law the share ownership is most definitely what is called a "beneficial interest". Now in Hussain's previous Declaration of Interests AND the new one he has JUST completed on 11th September, 2014 (a week ago) Hussain answered "None" when he was asked to declare:
"Any contract which is made between you and your partner or a body in which you and/or your partner have a beneficial interest and the Council (a) under which goods or services are to be provided or works are to be executed: and (b) which has not been fully discharged."
Assuming this Nasreen Begum IS Mrs Mahboob Hussain then this is an outright lie in a legal declaration.
"Any contract which is made between you and your partner or a body in which you and/or your partner have a beneficial interest and the Council (a) under which goods or services are to be provided or works are to be executed: and (b) which has not been fully discharged."
Assuming this Nasreen Begum IS Mrs Mahboob Hussain then this is an outright lie in a legal declaration.
Now here is a funny thing, since Hussain has now taken the shareholding off Shasta Parveen back into his own name on a date between 9th October, 2013 and 22nd July, 2014. Five Star have been getting much lower payments recently but Hussain has taken back the shareholding at the VERY latest on 22nd July, 2014 but again failed to mention it in his Declaration of Interests of just last week even though SMBC paid Five Star at least another £2,639.52p in August!
Oh and by the way, my website only shows a person's Mother and not their Father but Shasta Parveen was born in November, 1988. And her Mother? Nasreen Begum - wife of Cllr Mahboob Hussain.
Looks like another job for the Boys'n'Girls in Blue to take a look at!

Mahboob "I Work the Whole City" Hussain
I have recently been researching the "Mahboob Hussain Family Tree". That gentleman is, of course, one of the two Labour Deputy "Leaders" [sic] at Sandwell Council. I have sent him a couple of e-mails to clarify certain relationships but for some reason he has declined to reply.....
In my blog of 19th May, 2014 "Skidder Shorts No. 11 - Five Star Sandwell!" I pointed out that Five Star Taxis and Minibuses Limited of Dudley had, er, "won" lucrative taxi work from the incompetent "socialists". It will be interesting to see the procurement procedure here! In financial year 2012/13 the comrades paid Five Star a mere £30,744.54p but in 2013/2014, and despite all the alleged "Tory cuts", this rocketed to £60.471.75p! From 5th August, 2009 to 9th October, 2012 (overlapping with the contract) Hussain was Five Star's Company Secretary.
The largesse of the lefty loonies has been curtailed this financial year (at least so far). I can only record payments over £500 for the first five months (which, of course, excludes any possible payments under £500) which amount to just £8,432.12p. Still, just another £351.59p and that's "just" £100K!!!!!
The Sandwell Council website shows that Hussain's only declaration of a personal interest in respect of taxis was to a "Cabinet" meeting way back on 19th May, 2004 and solely in respect of the "Forward Plan for the Taxi and Private Hire Service". He has recorded his, unspecified, "employment" with Five Star in the Register of Members' Interests.
But in my recent research, I decided to go back in time with searches relating to Five Star and found this list of SHAREHOLDERS as at 28th July, 2009:
50 shares - Abdul Quyyam* (20); Amar Quyyam (20) and Kaneez Begum (10);
50 shares - Mahboob Hussain (30); Nasreen Begum (20).
But at some later point there was a change in shareholding. By 9th October, 2013 the shares are in the same holdings as above save that Hussain's majority 30% is now owned by one "Shasta Parveen".
With the contract bringing in big money Nasreen Begum still retains her 20% shareholding. It may be pure coincidence and this might be another person but one Nasreen Begum is Mahboob Hussain's wife living with him at 51 McKean Road, Oldbury!
Now here is another coincidence. The Peopletracer website shows that from at least 2007 to 2013 the 18-25 year-old, Ms Shasta Parveen was an occupier of, er, 51 McKean Road, Oldbury - home of Labour's Mahboob Hussain!
As ever, information welcome and I would also like to know if another alleged resident at 51 McKean Road, Nigat Loreen, is the wife of Hussain's eldest son, Naveed?
I am sure SMBC were well aware of the above shareholdings before doling out such huge sums and they will produce the necessary paperwork and declarations. No doubt Chief Executive Jan Britton will be anxious to explain all!
(* NOT - apparently - to be confused with the Abdul Naeem Quyam of Boggate fame!)

Bog-gate - Help Please!
Pure coincidence? Well Jamila Bibi is a very common name (honestly, it really is).....
Remember the sale of the three sets of bogs? Empty and unmarketed and then up pops Abdul Naeem Quyam to make an offer which is rapidly accepted by Labour SMBC - without a valuation (it was done afterwards!).
I believe that Mr Quyam ("ANQ") was born on 16th August, 1979 to JAMILA BIBI in, er, Rotherham.
A curiosity is thrown up on the Peopletracer website in that it first shows ANQ at 25 Bridge Street, Oldbury from around 1998 to around 2004 and that during some of that time another occupant was JAMILA BIBI (now aged 56 to 60). But then Peopletracer appear to show ANQ at two different addresses for overlapping periods which cannot be correct (and these commercial websites do contain errors). He is shown as allegedly being on the voters roll at 42 Warley Road, Oldbury from around 2012 to 2014 but also on the voters roll at 52 Warley Road, Oldbury 2010 to 2014. Similarly his occupancy at that same website is shown as 2008 to 2014 at No. 42 and 2006 to 2013 at No. 52. I invite Mr Quyam to contact The Skidder to put the record straight.
A Land Registry search of No 42 shows that it is a Council house owned by SMBC. Peopletracer show one resident as being JAMILIA (note spelling) BIBI. Perhaps someone out there can confirm whether this is just a misprint.....
No 52 was a SMBC Council House but was sold in 2004 to Mohammed and Ishtiaq Razzaq although the current owner (via HM Land Registry) is now a Mr Abdul Majeed (possibly also known as Abdul Majid). Besides being shown as a recent occupier of the property ANQ also used this address - ie No. 52 - when he purchased the three blocks of bogs and that is his address as shown at HM Land Registry. Accordingly, I assume he is known to Mr Majeed.
Regular readers will be familiar with the name Abdul Amean. According to Peopletracer (and I must again caution as to accuracy) this shows him at 25 Bridge Street 1998 to 2005 (voters roll 2002-2006) and then also at 52 Warley Road 2007 to 2013 (voters roll 2009). He was born on 26th October, 1977 in Sheffield to JAMILLA (note spelling) BIBI.
It would appear that ANQ and Mr Amean may be brothers and perhaps someone out there can help me with that?
No. 52 is the registered address for Unity Property Investments Limited which owns some or all of 3 flats and some other land making up 12 Unity Place, Oldbury. Amean is the Company Secretary (and a shareholder) and ANQ the sole director and both give their address at Companies House as 52 Warley Road.
12 Unity Place was the proposed registered office address for a Company which has now been struck off at Companies House - X Catalogue Limited. ANQ was a Director giving his address as 52 Warley Road and Amean was Company Secretary but this time he gave his address as the Council-owned house - 42 Warley Road! All very curious.
It seems Amean was not connected with the second incarnation of Central Property Line Limited (07661284) where ANQ was a Director and shareholder giving no. 52 as his address. Of course, that Company has also been struck off at Companies House.
But what is this? On 26th November, 2013 (ie recently) ANQ incorporated a new Company and with, as we shall see, an interesting name - Futures Eco Systems Limited. The proposed registered office address was the Council house at 42 Warley Road but Quyam gave 12 Unity place as his "address for service". The Companies House documents show ANQ as the sole shareholder at, er, 42 (yes Forty Two) Warley Road! Note the use of the word "Futures"....
Let me take you on a short excursion here if I may. On the Albert Street bogs is a sign advertising the property from "Futures Estate Agents" and they also cropped up in a newspaper article by the Wolverhampton C-S's about the bogs in Jervoise Lane dated 6th June, 2013. I had long been trying to tie up some loose ends as the C-S's article didn't make sense. A "spokesman" for Futures allegedly said that:
"The current owner of the toilets acquired them through auction about six months ago. Sandwell Council sold them for £10,000 in August last year."
But elsewhere in the same article the C-S's said, "The owners purchased the property a few years ago".
Neither of these statements is true (not that the C-S's will worry about that) since ANQ did acquire this particular set of bogs for £10k from Labour SMBC but not via auction. The article seems to suggest that there had been a change of ownership since the £10k sale but that is not true as on 10th August, 2014 ANQ was still shown as the sole owner at HM Land Registry!
If you "Google" Futures you will find them at www.futuresproperty.co.uk with an address at 22 Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton where they also trade as Futures Property Management. One of the two "contacts" on the website is one Suki Jandu. I imagine that FPM stands for Futures Property Management and that Suki Jandu is one and the same as a Director of that Company until he resigned in 2011, Sukhdev Singh Jandu. (Please note that I make no suggestion here of any impropriety by Mr Jandu).
I will give you two guesses at the registered office for FPM (UK). Well it had to be one or the other and, indeed, it is 52 Warley Road. The sole Director is one Abdul Amean who gives his "service address" as 22 Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton. He is the sole shareholder of the Company.
(Just for the record Mr Amean is also the sole Director and Shareholder of a Company called Veson Limited whose registered office and service addresses are now, er, 52 Warley Road.)
All very interesting! But there is one final piece of information I need you to help me with. Are ANQ and/or Abdul Amean related to a female known as Nigat Loreen born in early 1982 in, er, Rotherham to JAMILAN (note spelling) BIBI? Your help with that would be particularly interesting!

Link to Blog re SMBC Goose Murders and Online Petition...
I have refrained from dealing with the industrial scale culling of Canada Geese by Labour Sandwell Council since Mr Ian Carroll has been doing such an excellent job via Freedom of Information requests and his own blog/website. Ian has now started a petition against the slaughter - see below.
The new [sic] "caring" and "open" Sandwell Labour have recently, er, changed the rules to actually make petitioning the Council more difficult! Quite why this should be when they simply binned the huge petition to save The Public and the recent one trying to save youth services is a mystery..... (In the former case, the ludicrous "leader" of SMBC, Cooper, also took to his "personal" [sic] Twitter account to mock and deride the Petitioners - consultation indeed!) Having said that, the petition is still one of the few methods #sandwellscrutineers have to draw the attention of Labour Councillors in the Pyongyang-style regime to the displeasure of us proles at their high-handedness.
Please take a look at Ian's blog on his website and you will see a familiar story of evasion by Sandwell Labour -

The new [sic] "caring" and "open" Sandwell Labour have recently, er, changed the rules to actually make petitioning the Council more difficult! Quite why this should be when they simply binned the huge petition to save The Public and the recent one trying to save youth services is a mystery..... (In the former case, the ludicrous "leader" of SMBC, Cooper, also took to his "personal" [sic] Twitter account to mock and deride the Petitioners - consultation indeed!) Having said that, the petition is still one of the few methods #sandwellscrutineers have to draw the attention of Labour Councillors in the Pyongyang-style regime to the displeasure of us proles at their high-handedness.
Please take a look at Ian's blog on his website and you will see a familiar story of evasion by Sandwell Labour -

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!!!!!
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?
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!

Late Final - Cashmore and Mosque Parking Exclusives!
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!
