Charity Commission’s clean bill of health to playing fields team
THE team running the QE11 Playing Fields, Whalley, has been given a "clean bill of health" by the Charity Commis
sion. But Ribble Valley Borough
Council is not as pleased - officials concerned about safe ty and nuisance have demanded th a t debris from the former changing rooms at the fields is made safe by Tuesday. Allegations of mismanage
ment, inappropriate and possi bly legally actionable use of funds and other shortcomings against the charity's trustees and spotlighting chairman Mr Jon Smith in particular have
been investigated and not accepted. The commission, the control
ling body for all charities, has now told the trustees that they can proceed with developing the playing fields as they wish. They do not need to worry about threats of possible legal action against them because of money allegedly being spent on purposes for which it was not raised. The commission has appar
ently looked at evidence on this and other points going back some years - including news
items in the Advertiser and Times - and concluded that the trustees have acted at all times in line with the charity's aims and objects. This confirms the response
Council, some o’f whom are trustees, say they are glad the allegations have now been dis posed off and they are very keen for the fields to carry on improving. Mr Smith told Thursday's
