Hussain Family Payday Edges Closer!

Just thought you would like to see the progress of the Lodge Street, Oldbury development. These shots are from two days ago. Clearly you will all be anxious that shed loads of money arrive safely with Councillor Hussain's family and soon!

The first two houses are coming along nicely - roofs on and windows in. The two next door are only partially completed but a start has been made on another two.

Of course, Sandwell Labour initially wanted to put "old people" here on land infamously described by the Labour Deputy Leader, Mahboob Hussain, as "f*cking sh*t". Hussain's Land Disposal Committee (Hussain, Eling, Hackett and Ian Jones) decided to sell the substantial cleared plot and duly authorised Neeraj Sharma and Nick Bubalo - both senior and highly-paid Council officers - to arrange matters. Fortunately, unknown officers of the Council were then able to facilitate the actual sale (no questions asked) at just £145,000 to Cllr Hussain's own son, Azeem Hafeez, who is also an EMPLOYEE of the Council, and then grant him planning permission for 14 houses! Although the Labour Council deemed this proposal for 14 houses a "major development" the unknown officers of SMBC also graciously declined to ask Hussain's son, for a s.106 planning/Community Infrastructure Levy payment. Kerrching!

Labour Sandwell are REFUSING to answer a Freedom of Information request about all this which The Skidder put in on your behalf because of the "ongoing police investigation".

(Remember you can contact DS Wayne Haynes and his fraud team in confidence on 0121 251 2175).

First two houses progressing well and the money will soon be rolling in.

Two more houses awaiting roofs and two more started.

Nice to have some good news about Sandwell Labour though, isn't it Readers?
