As seen on the front page, there are two consultations just now, but the links to them don't seem to work, anyone else found this??

What is more interesting is the public consultation that the WPCC have not carried out. At their board meeting yesterday there was an agenda item 10.19.7 Consideration of the Potential Amendments to WPCC’s Constitutional FrameworkThese amendments will be to the founding legislation - the 1871 Act and byelaws which protect the commons. What are the intended changes to the 1871 Act? What public consultation has there been with the levy payers who fund them? None. Levy payers need no reminding that the WPCC were LEGALLY OBLIGED to consult over their unlawful sale of land at Putney Common. Despite being instructed in writing to do so by the Charity Commission the trustees deliberately refused and then lied about it.

John, you’re right.The two consultations have actually been on their website for almost a month. They just didn’t bother to tell anyone. Must think the levy-payers are psychic. Incidentally there is no mention of the deadline for replies on the explanatory page.Still no sign of the Charity Commission SI report. It is the Autumn, isn’t it?Nick

From: John Cameron Date: 11 October 2019 at 12:42:29 pm CESTTo: Diane Neil Mills WPCCSubject: FOI / EIR - Potential Amendments to the WPCC Constitutional Framework.Dear DianeFreedom of Information / Environmental Information Regulations 2004 request - Consideration of Potential Amendments to WPCC’s Constitutional FrameworkI note that the agenda for the October 14 board meeting will consider potential amendments to the WPCC’s constitutional framework - I assume this refers to proposals to amend the 1871 Act. I am unaware of any public consultation with stakeholders or the levy payers who fund the WPCC. As a levy payer (and former trustee of the WPCC) I wish to receive and review all correspondence and advice which the WPCC have considered when considering potential amendments to the 1871 Act / the ‘WPCC’s Constitutional Framework’ referred to. The material will include all minutes and notes of all meetings or committees, including those of the Constitution Working Group. The terms of reference of the CWG refers to ‘legal advice’ which the WPCC has received suggesting that the ‘constitution of the Charity needs reviewing’. I wish to receive copies of the legal advice referred to in the TOR. I understand that external representatives may have been co-opted to join the working group. I require you confirm the identity of the external representative and the basis of their appointment. The Constitution Working Group was charged to consider the following points. 1. areas needing change, risks identified and priorities agreed;2. the reasons these changes are required;3. reviewing the available mechanisms for achieving the amendments to the constitution and recommending preferred option(s);4. considering alternative ways in which WPCC could resolve each of the problems it faces, other than via a scheme granting amended/new powers;5. the consultation strategy so that major stakeholders are aware of and can comment on any proposed changes.Please ensure that the material covers all correspondence and advice in respect of points 1 - 5 above. I require you to provide the identity of the ‘major stakeholders’ referred to in point 5 and confirm whether they have actually been consulted. If these stakeholders have been consulted I require you to provide all correspondence and material (WPCC / the stakeholders) including the stakeholder’s comments on the proposed changes. This request is submitted under Environmental Information Regulations which the WPCC is subject to. I look forward to your acknowledgement and to receiving the material shortly. Kind regards.John
Here we go again

Andy, it ain’t finished until it’s finished. The CC report is still outstanding.N.
I have seen the cards on the common at several sites with regard to the Land Management Consultation. [I have completed one and returned] However, it wasn't until this evening whilst perusing the PutneySW15.com site that I saw a second consultation with regard to dog walkers. I've never seen a card nor any notice about this. Is this deliberate? I've seen their huge posters about only walking four dogs in a group but a consultation? Nothing...Is there really an issue with dogs being walked on the common? I can't say I've noticed or heard any rumours of any. Does anyone know any different?
