What are the hidden secrets of the Victoria Hall Trust? Will the trust deed ever be published?
As far as I can determine the only published material excerpted from the Victoria Hall Trust key to the controversial sale of the old Ealing Town Hall to become a private hotel are:"A Declaration of Trust was made in respect of the Hall on 6th November 1893.The Declaration specifies that the Hall be made available for hire for the purposes of “Meetings, Entertainments, Balls, Bazaars, and other Gatherings Whether Social or Political...”. The Declaration further specifies that any rental income generated, after deductions for the upkeep of the Hall, must be applied “as the Trustees may think fit between and among any Charitable or Philanthropic or Charitable Institutions in the District of Ealing Local Board as the Trustees may think fit...”.This was aired at the Ealing Council General Purposes Committee in September of last year. Trustees of such trusts are under no obligation to publish any details of such a trust unless they want to. As far as I am aware nothing else direct has been published anywhere.Are there secrets that we are unaware of in the full text of the document itself?What does the rest of the document say?
