Statement from Datchet Parish Council regarding the unofficial DRCCT website

Please be advised that the website www.drcct.org is not an official site of the Datchet Recreation Centre Charitable Trust (DRCCT). It was created without the approval or consultation with the new interim DRCCT Management Committee or Datchet Parish Council (DPC). The DPC is the sole legal and managing trustee of the DRCCT, as listed by the Charity Commission, and is legally responsible for the charity’s management and assets. As the DPC or the official committee does not authorise the website, its content should not be considered impartial or necessarily factual. For official information about DRCCT, please contact the DPC Clerk.

Update on new DRCCT Management Committee

The DPC, as the sole managing trustee, dissolved the previous DRCCT Committee following serious governance issues, including an upheld complaint of bullying and harassment of DPC staff. Former committee members are refusing to cooperate and thus are blocking the smooth transition of the operation of the Village Hall complex.The DPC urges the former committee to cooperate to ensure a full and proper handover. If this continues, the DPC will implement its legal options. The DPC seeks to avoid unnecessary legal action, which would be detrimental to the charity and the community.
