Gifts of £720 in tickets for Wembley Stadium events to Council Leader from FA, owners of the Stadium.
Planning application for permission to hold more large events at Wembley Stadium.
Coincidence?
So Cllr Bhagwanji Chohan can fly to India on this all expenses paid trip yet he doesn't respond to emails from the residents in Alperton he's been elected to represent???
More Events More Tickets for Butt.
Those Wembley Stadium tickets have been declared at values much lower than they should have been as most certainly they'll have been in the posh Club Wembley seats.
And have you seen how many free tickets Cllr Mo Butt has received in the past - adds up to many, many thousands of pounds, see here (you'll need to scroll down):https://democracy.brent.gov.uk/mgDeclarationSubmission.aspx?UID=128&HID=3702&FID=0&HPID=67246112
Shame he's not offering these tickets to us council tax paying residents!
Is he paying tax to cover all these 'free" tickets which are basically 'unearned income'???
Don’t believe they’d need to be declared for tax purposes.
We need some clarification on this as I'm sure other workers would be clobbered for such regular 'benefits in kind" taken from a customer?
If you take a look at the updated register of interests there have been 4-5 tickets given to the leader of the council for some very big games. Something isn’t right. 1-2 tickets may be understandable, but 4-5 looks like his whole family is benefiting. That’s nearly £1000 per game. Could there be some arm twisting going on here?
£2000 worth of free tickets for Butt so far this year. Heavily skewed towards him compared to other councillors.
