I'm trying to establish the facts of the TCP, as many people I have asked give differing accounts.

1. Is it a Community Interest Company or is it formed as a limited company or something else?

2. Where can I view the constitution? Have any of you actually seen a copy?

3. If it has no constitution, are the council legally allowed to give it money?

4. What is the criteria for membership? Is it members electing members as I believe? If it is an inclusive group of people, what mandate does it have?

5. Does the TCP publish it's accounts, and if so, where can I view copies of them from previous year?

6. Why is the TCP in charge of the BID process, and what involvement will they have in the operation of the BID if successfull? Is it true that the TCP will apoint the BID manager if it is given the green light?

I have serious concerns, the more I look into this group of unelected representatives, the power they have and the public money they recieve indirectly and directly, I'm surprised this has not been investigated more strenuously. How can they represent town centre businesses that they refuse admission to meetings?

It does look as if once again User23 has been able to deflect attention away from the original topic on "the other forum".

Yes Richard you will never get on in politics in Newbury if you leak information. Keep the voters in the dark is the local motto! Let the hoi polio know what is going on will only end in tears you know?

Do you think there will be much retail left in Newbury after next year?   So moot question really.

I've already told Brian that I believe a single, democratic body would be more effective than the current secret society (TCP) and the NRA in it's present format.

A single, democratic body to represent the people of Newbury would be the Town Council then.

But if any of you could put in a word for me I'd love to be a freemason. Freemasonry opens doors. I mean, I was...I was a bit on edge just now, but if I were a mason I'd sit at the back and not get in anyone's way.
