7 February (Part 4) - Cheque checked
While
wading through the pile of papers dumped into my lap since
advertising an interest in
Councillor Fothergill’s activities
I came across an application form signed by the Councillor.
The signature appears to match the Secretary’s on
the £244,000 cheque but
the printed name beneath it is prefixed ‘Councillor’.
So not only does it look like the Councillor signed a cheque from one company payable to her own company, which
I am told is a dubious practice, but it is also proved that in a transaction which was
solely the business of her company far away from Bexley she used the title
apparently in the belief it conferred some sort of advantage for herself.
