Why would a local Councillor register himself and family members in two addresses at the same time?
Our council leader, Julian Bell and/or his wife, simultaneously registered themselves and the same family members in their private house in Eastfields Road as well as their housing association house in Noel Road, just round the corner. He did this on the Ealing electoral register for two years running in 2008 and 2009. Why do you think he would do that? Also, for three years (2011, 2012 and 2013) Cllr Bell and family registered themselves in his private Eastfields Rd house and no-one was registered in his housing association place in Noel Road. If his registrations were truthful why would social landlord A2Dominion allow him to keep the social home and why didn't he give the home back to them so a family in need might have it? This is a social home with a rent subsidised by us tax payers and as I understand it Cllr Bell will be getting a subsidy of around 70% off the market rent. If his family didn't live in the social home for three years because they were living at his other house then surely they don't need the housing association house anymore? If they were really living in the social home then why did hhe or his wife fill in a electoral registration form to Ealing Council saying they weren't? Why would a councillor, of all people, register falsely? Wouldn't false registrations call into question his honesty?Interestingly, in election years 2010 and 2014 Cllr Bell and/or his wife registered family members back in the housing association house again. I wonder why. Perhaps they thought those years might get more attention?It is all very strange and must have been done for a reason. What reason(s) do people think it could have been done for?
