This is crazy, anyway you should all send message to MP as I did :) and inform him about criminal activity of Councillor Samantha Mearns.

Already done this, particularly as Andrew Jones MP visited Gmund 1/12/18 and described Gmund as an 'amazing business". He responded personally saying he could only get involved with matters relating to his own constituents (which I'm not) and suggested I raise this as a potential breach of the Member's Code of Conduct for Councillors. I followed his advice but they're unable to pursue complaints which don't relate to Council business.

Starting to see how people get away with this type of thing.

Jonttt's petition suggestion has got me thinking .......

I would go back to Andrew Jones MP (Conservative) and ask him if his actions protecting Cllr Samantha Mearns (Conservative) fraudulent activities, meet the standards laid down for MP's of :

Selflessness

Integrity

Objectivity

Accountability

Openness

Honesty

Oh and of course you will be reporting him to the Parliamentary Standards Committee to verify that he has done nothing wrong.

:yeah:

And of course the Conservative party should be included in the notifications. They need to help their MP ensure that his choice of staff in no way leave his constituents, the MP himself, the conservative party or local businesses open to conflicts of interest.

Linky/contact details in here...https://www.conservatives.com/codeofconduct

fortunately you don't need to be a paid member of the party to submit concerns :thumb:

Samantha Mearns Conservative Councillor Harrogate & Gmund Cars Ltd

Dear Sir/Madam

It would appear one of your Councillor's had been an active director of this company while they were stealing customers money.

That is where the b police step in, or rather should but totally fail to take any interest whatsoever as its a 'civil" not a criminal matter. That is total and utter *****, it is criminal end of. They are just being lazy and claiming lack of resource. It's a farce. I've had exactly the same happen to me twice in the last year (involving thefts from company not me personally) where we have admissions of guilt and full evidence provided to the police and they have simply not been interested.

That is the root of the issue here to me. People do wrong, break the law, break that basic trust and use it to just rip more people off, that should be punished. The police are totally failing to protect the public, that is core to their role/purpose and they are failing more and more to meet that basic role.

With that in mind, would the strongest action be for us to start a petition and get as many people as possible to sign it, then present this to the Chief of Police and insist on him getting his local force to pull their finger from where the sun doesn't shine and get this sorted.

If, at the same time, the OP registered this as a complaint at Gmund Cars nearest plod-station, said Police chief could get a crime cleaned up rather quickly, which would make him look good and his figures....

Just a thought
 
Do you have any local online news outlets? Interesting stories tend to be picked up quickly by national media. It helps if the victim isn't an affluent middle aged white Porsche driver
Yesterday I read a story on Somerset Live about a grandmother who was fined £150 for littering for feeding a pigeon Today it was reported on the BBC Daily Mail and Metro. I love the story because it has ridiculed our local politicians. Perhaps the same could happen with Gmund
 
Re online news; there is the aptly-named "Harrogate Shame" twitter feed.

@HGShame

He covered the Gmund Open Day a few weeks ago and doesn't seem a fan of Councillor Mearns.

My son runs a 968 and is on a 968 FB group. Posted yesterday that member had removed his 968 from GMUND and put it with Specialist Cars.

Crikey. Some people would describe that as going from the frying pan into the fire.

:hand:

:floor:


I've heard there was something also related to Nick Jackson who had some cars previously for restoration by Gmund, I'm led to believe the cars are back in his possession but any more details on his what went wrong on the Gmund restoration situation and if there was any court action by Nick Jackson would assist further building this case against Andrew Mearns. PM me if that's easier.
 
THIS GOES ON

Gmund - are they still trading

Has the OP taken legal action in the most effective way

I would have sorted the foolish bum out - then given the saga to this forum


:bandit:
 
I do have a'friend' of mine who is massively in PR; he deals with all the major newspapers.

I could share this with him and ask him if he could, cough, share it with some friendly editors who might want to run with it...

I'm a newbie to all things Porsche and am finding this forum incredibly informative. There's a bunch of good folk on here.

I can't add to any technical discussions as I'm a 'learner'

The Gmund couple sound as though they are an absolute disgrace and deserve everything coming to them. I hope folk get full restitution.

I don't know whether Mearns is as 'thick as bricks' or whether he would have the nouse to read on this forum. Assume he does read it and post stuff that will spook him but don't post stuff that gives him warning of what might be coming so that you retain the element of surprise.
