Black Deeds at Black Patch?

Just over a year ago, I wrote a post questioning why Labour Sandwell (aka "Sadwell") Council were trying to stitch up yet another private deal without opening it up to any sort of competition AND to destroy parts of the historic Black Patch community open space to boot:

News reaches me that someone called "Nick" from SMBC has been proactively involved in trying to sort out a "deal" for "Smart Waste Company Limited" to build on the Park plus some ancillary property deals. It seems no other party has been allowed into this process. (Judicial Review anyone?)



Of course, if "Nick" is our old friend from so many of the recent Sadwell Labour scandals, Nick Bubalo (£108,219.00 per annum), and he is able to swing a deal that will obviously be very helpful when he takes his "regeneration" hat off and puts his "head of planning" hat on to decide on the, er, same application! (Of course, Bubalo recently made an application on behalf of his own Labour Council to place giant advertising signs on the greenbelt at Ray Hall Lane which, you will not be surprised to know, the cunning comrades waved through in record time!)

Two directors of Smart Waste are Kuldip Singh Wouhra and Paul Deep Wouhra - both also directors of East End Foods. I am told that East End have, mysteriously, been involved in some meetings about the deal which is all very odd!

Are "Nick" and East End about to put one up our rear end? All info welcome please!

  1. Black Patch Park has no-one living next to it. It has only survived in those circumstances because it is loved, respected and valued by a remarkable community of interest made up of people and organisations who come to it from different parts of Sandwell and Birmingham to enjoy sport and exercise; who believe it may be the birthplace of the great Charlie Chaplin; who are aware of its close association – geographic and historic – with the standing remains of Boulton’s and Watt’s Soho Foundry; whose childhood was spent there; who know the local history of the park’s association with the Romany Gypsies whose descendants visit the park annually to celebrate the memory of their encampments on the Black Patch during Smethwick’s industrial era. .
