Another Employee of Land Registry Convicted of Fraud






Thanks Jean for your Interest, but to bring you up to date, and answer your question,  I thought that I had already reported it to the Information Commissioner? on the 17th May 2010, without, I may say,  any Success  (copy of my request is still available on this Site)

While I thank you for your advice and  your previous annotation, I feel it would be utterly pointless to
 report anything  further to the Information Commissioner? Who I believe , is totally unfit for purpose,

I did Contact My Member of Parliament for Hartlepool  Iain Wright M.P. who in turn contacted Richard Dawson O.B.E. who it was claimed, was the  Head of Land Registry to investigate Internally my Serious Allegations of Criminal activities in the Offices of Land Registry Durham,?

Surprise, Surprise,  Richard Dawson O.B.E  found nothing wrong with the Conduct of any of his own employees in Land Registry, Durham.

evidently my time and dated   “Official Copy” of the entries in the register of title on the 9th October 2008, at 10.55.27 issued on the 10th October 2008, from Land Registry, Durham  filed in the Land Register on 29th.3. 1984.
Which  under s67 of the Land Registration Act 2002, is admissible in evidence to the same extent as the “Original” ,  is “Groundless” when Compared to a Coloured Photograph of an Outside Toilet Door,?

 Malcolm Dawson O.B.E, did say the “Original” Plans had been Destroyed,? BUT a Copy of the Plan,  was retained, and could be accepted as an “Authentic” copy of the Original Plan, ? Not you will note, A timed and dated “Official Copy” of the entries in  the register of Title ,which under s67 of the Land Registration Act 2002, is admissible in evidence  to the same extent as the Original. ? An Unbelievable statement  from the HEAD of Land Registry.

If Land Registry are “ not aware of” or don’t  see, any evidence of Criminal  activity, then they can't be criticised for not reporting it to the Proper Authorities ?
However, in this case, it is obvious that Malcolm Dawson O.B.E,.  Head of Land Registry,  did not wish to Report my Criminal Allegations to the Authorities, ? Why,  was it beyond Possibility  the Wrongdoer was one of their own employees,  ?

I think it should be noted, in March 2012, an Employee of Land Registry for 33 years was Convicted at Southwark Crown Court after being found guilty of abusing her position of trust , Her fraud involved nine identified properties but Scotland Yard suspect that many more homes may have changed hands illegally,  my personal experiences of Land Registry, makes me believe that this was NOT an Isolated Incident and may yet prove to be just the tip of the Iceberg, I am Certainly NOT finished,

Further Progress will be published ,

Freedom of Information Request to Grant Shapps, M.P.




Friday, 31 August 2012
 Dear Freedom of Information Officer,
For the attention of  Grant Shapps, M.P.  and Housing Minister
Dear Sir,
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, you called for social housing to be rebranded as "taxpayer-funded housing, I always thought is was,

Under the Freedom of Information Act,  Could you please direct me to the Correct Government Department that would be in a position to answer my
Questions, or failing that, direct me to the Government Department that can supply me with  a copy of any recorded information of the Law or Policy, outlining the sale of Council  Houses prior to 1980. ?

as my Freedom of Information Requests to Hartlepool Borough Council for this information and other Information, have been unsuccessful , All my previous Freedom of Information Requests can be viewed on this site
WhattDoTheyKnow and http://alanflounders.blogspot.co.uk/

A few months ago I started to do research into the reasons behind the Sale of Council House Property’s in Hartlepool , in  the 1970’s the period prior to the Introduction of the Right to Buy Laws Introduced by Margaret Thatcher in1980,  Which  I personally applauded, and wish to record my thanks, because without that Legal Right, I,  like millions more , would have had Little or No Chance to be a Property Owner,

I was totally unaware that Council House Tenants had a legal right to Buy their Council House Freehold Property before 1980?, and  I am totally  Confused and unable to understand why if the Legal provisions enabling a weekly Rent paying Council House Tenant to Buy their Freehold Council Property, was already in place prior to 1980,? why was it necessary for Margaret Thatcher to introduce The Housing (Right To Buy)  Laws in 1980 ?

 I believe the Public, have a right to know. because,  and  it is worth reminding people,  that all Council Houses,  were built  and subsidised with taxpayers money in the first place, Our  Money. ?

What Special Qualifications. If Any,  did a  Weekly Rent Paying Council House Tenant have to be eligible to Purchase their Freehold Council House Property,  prior to 1980.? And did they receive any Financial Reduction in the Purchase Price of  their Council Owned Property.

I even involved my Labour  Member of Parliament for Hartlepool
Iain Wright M.P.  who I thought, being  my Member of Parliament,  would have been interested in this Issue,  and would have wanted to know,  “IF” the Right To Buy your Council House,  prior to  1980, was available to “ALL” Hartlepool Council House Tenants, and if “ NOT” why “NOT” a Serious but Genuine Question, ?  Was it only available to selected  Tenants, ? I was never invited to Purchase my Council House Property,

Unfortunately,  my M.P.  appears to have lost  interest in what I though would have been a topic of worthwhile Public and Social interest, as I always though and believed  that “ALL” Labour Party Members, including, Members of Parliament in the Period 1945 up to 1980, and even before and after, were Wholeheartedly and Vigorously apposed to Local Councils Selling off Freehold Council House Properties,?

But from my own experiences , most of those who objected most strongly, very quickly jumped on the band wagon and  purchased their Council Houses, ? My research has indicated that more than two (2) million citizens bought their Council Houses  between 1980 and 1998,  ?

I don’t know if Iain Wright M.P. for Hartlepool,  or his Predecessor, Peter Mandleson,  aka,  Baron Mandleson  (now Lord of the Manor ) not  Owton Manor Hartlepool, ? Took advantage of Margaret Thatcher’s Generosity, ? And bought and  lived in a Council House in Hartlepool,   but  I doubt it . ?

Council House Sales in Hartlepool, in the 1970’s

A few months ago I started to do research into the Sale of Council House Property’s , I even involved my Labour  Member of Parliament for Hartlepool , Iain Wright M.P. unfortunately , he appears to have lost  interest in what I though would have been  of  worthwhile  social interest, after all , I always though that the Labour Party were instrumental and very passionate in supporting the re-housing of  people living in slum and  poor housing  conditions, and I, could not understand “why,”  Hartlepool Borough Council
, politically controlled by the Labour Party  for  over 60 years + would allow any such sales of Local Council Houses in the  period, I am Interested in, the 1970’s. without a very good reason ?

I can't help but wonder, how selling off essentially needed  rented  council housing, was  going to help the real housing shortage in the 1970’s, and I was very interested, as I feel many more would be, to know what  Special  needs or qualification would a weekly rent paying council house tenant  require, to be allowed to purchase their Council House property, prior to the Introduction in 1980 of the Right to Buy by  the Margaret Thatcher Government.

I would have thought that Councils, especially Labour Controller Councils such as Hartlepool,  would have had a very active and open policy to discourage any Council House Tenant from applying to buy their Council House Property,  I thought they would  have tried to retain all the  much needed council houses for people,  still  living in damp unhealthy and  unsuitable poor living Conditions, and  avoid selling them off, to the  more affluent Council House Rent paying tenants,

Surely., I thought,   if a Rent Paying Council House Tenant could  afford a “Mortgage ” in the 1970’s  they  would  have  been  told by the Council to go and buy your house in the Open Market Place,  then they would have vacated their present Council House,  making the Council Property vacant and available to  another deserving family, on the Council House Waiting List,  and  would  discourage  a sitting Council House tenant to purchase their Council House which would diminish the Local Council House Stock,
I though, that was the Idea of building Council Homes, built  for the People unable to afford a Private Purchase.

 My  requests for information  was  not politically motivated, I simply wanted to know “How” and “Why”  it was done, I am not suggesting ? That you could buy your Council House  by a Nod and a Wink, or knowing the right people, in the right placers,  or what some may might think,  “Brown Envelopes” or having  Uncles and Cousins on the Council,  or even knowing and being involved with some men, who  had a  funny habit of running around their back gardens in female frocks and howling loudly at the time of a Full Moon, ? Don’t laugh, this is Hartlepool. We have more than our fair share of,  shall I say,  unusual People, even some, dressing as “Baboons” and being elected to Political Office,

I was simply asking “How” a Council House tenant , managed to purchase their rented  Council House, and how many did so in the 1970’s.
When Council Houses were at a Premium , there was at that time,  and still is I believe, a very  Long Council House Waiting List ?
You don’t have to be a Rocket Scientist  to answer those two questions,

These  Freedom of Information requests to Hartlepool Borough Council , for answers to my reasonable questions were not  answered , nor have they had the courtesy to acknowledged  my request for a Review,

This suspicious,  arrogant and conceited conduct is not unusual, and certainly Not  what  a law abiding  Hartlepool citizen should receive, after all my Council Tax, helps pay these Council Employees, does it not ?

But of late we are seeing a couple of disturbing trends appearing in Hartlepool, and highlighted on a regular basis, in that well known magazine “Private Eye” and the only other decent local  news is  published on the Internet site,  High Tax  Hartlepool / The Hartlepool Post, http://www.hartlepoolpost.co.uk/

take a look,  if you really want to know what is going on and read about Council Corruption in  Hartlepool  as I have said before, Corruption is endemic in Hartlepool Borough Council,  unfortunately the Hartlepool Public are Lied to on a Regular Basis, and the locals, Religiously re -elect the same scoundrels, thieves, swindlers  Liar and cheats,

It appears that Hartlepool cannot no longer  find a few Honest  Local people willing and able to serve  the Public of Hartlepool as Councillors without receiving extravagant expenses, the times of Fred Jaquess, Billy Emerson, Bill Pounder, Harry Lightfoot, and many,  many more,  who thought it  an honour and a privilege to be elected to Public Office are long gone,  we all are the poorer for this unhappy situation, all we have at the moment are would be opportunists, political  wannabies, who will be  seeking office again in May, for personal  reasons, self interest, self enrichment, and financial gain,  more snouts around the trough,
few if any have a Job, or have even ever  had a job,  not because there is very little  work available in the North-East,  but simply  because  being a Councillor in Hartlepool is better than working for a living, if you  don’t believe me, ask the Mayor.

while it is difficult to believe that Members of Parliament and Town  Councillors need no qualifications No basic educational  or even any work experience, and many don’t posses any skills that would  help them to do their job, what many  do posses in abundance, is a nasty arrogant attitude, they actually  seriously think that they can do no wrong?  And most certainly will not admit any mistake, like closing the Hospital, it was  not my  fault, is the cry, what is even more alarming is that they have the authority to pass the buck,  delegate their functions to even less qualified and experienced Council Staff, the Council Planning Committee for example,  does this often, particularly  whenever any Controversial Planning application are submitted.
However , I still remain hopeful, that this bad dream will  end soon, maybe  in Springtime or even Maytime, but then I’ve always been a dreamer, and I still like Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, and who can forget Limelight, or  Al Bowlly.

 I’m pleased to hear that HighTax Hartlepool / ,The Hartlepool Post,
 are to launch their own on-line newspaper in direct competition with the Hartlepool Mail, I wish them well .
