High Court Action averted

After the last 2 High Court action you think Wigan Council would now try and do things more easily and smoothly. After the the last hearing Cllr Steve Jones was to get his Brighter Borough funds back and this was promised to him. But up until this afternoon they wouldn't give him back nor confirm in writing that they would. But last week they verball informed him that he was not going to get his Brighter Borough funds back. Now under their rules - that's Wigan Council there are only a few reasons why a Cllr can't have access to this fund. I think illegally but let's not get into that now. So under their rules they would not give him his funds back so we had to issue another Pre Court Action Letter. These are the formal notices putting the Council on notice that we are going back to the High Court and informing the court and to ask the courts to order the Council. Under the rules we gave the Council till 5pm today to confirm that Cllr Steve Jones has his Brighter Borough funds after that we would issue proceedings against them immediately.

Thankfully at the 11th hour the Council confirmed in writing to Cllr Steve Jones he is getting his BBF back. We shouldn't have to go to these lengths to get what is rightfully his his as a Cllr and for him to be treated equally along with other Cllrs. Keep watching as I am sure their stupid little games have not stopped. My money is we end back in court in the not too distance future.
