About Me

South Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
We are the neighbours of the "Chilterns Water Mill" - featured on the episode of Grand Designs first broadcast on the 4th February 2009. We were asked to take part in the programme, but were strongly advised not to due to the extremely serious nature of allegations we have made against South Oxfordshire District Council - including improper conduct on the part of specific employees and councillors. The council is currently under investigation by the Local Government Ombudsman and the Standards Board for England. If anyone is serious about wanting to know details of the allegations or a fuller account of what has gone on - email me (from an address I can identify please) and we might talk further.

Update

For those of you still coming back to see if anything is happening, we thought we would just add a brief note to let you know that we have not abandoned the matter! As well as the ongoing Ombudsman's investigation of the council's conduct, Ofcom are now investigating our complaint regarding the Grand Designs programme. At Ofcom's request, we can't at present say any more about this, but we will post an update when we are able to give more news. In the meantime, many thanks to all those that took the trouble to register complaints regarding the programme.
