Sent this, via writetothem.com, over a week ago. Still haven't had an answer (it is relayed to the cllr via the council), and I now see that I'm blocked by him on Twitter as well:

(note: I could have added Saj Patel's Twitter addy to the other cllrs' but I want this message to only go to him via writetothem, to ensure a reply via that medium)
Writing to Cllr Sajid Patel, Barton and Tredworth
Dear Sajid Patel,
Please tell me, as the city council's 'representative' on the board of Barton & Tredworth Developments, why they are refusing to answer the following questions (even to the point of requesting, and getting, a Personal Information Notice issued to me from @glos_police) concerning the former Barton & Tredworth Community Trust, whose remaining funds they inherited, as well a several trustees and its former secretary, Bren McInerney:
Why did BTD claim not to know the BTCT had folded, when the trust's former secretary was/is a board member?
Who are the board members of BTD (a direct answer, not a suggestion to ask 'Companies House' or whoever)?
When will the full results of the BTCT members survey conducted last year be released to the public?
And here are two more questions...
How much money was left to the trust after the sale of the building?
How much money was then put into the closed savings account?
Joe Kilker
PS there's still the matter of the garden...
The garden is a continuing concern, since you informed Kay Powell at a council meeting that it was closed to the public after suffering vandalism, yet it has never, to my knowledge, been left unlocked, so locking it did not prevent the alleged vandalism. If there was vandalism, rather than the steady decay caused by a lack of maintenance, it was either committed by individuals allowed into the garden through the 'Trust Centre' building, or by strangers for whom the locks presented no problem. Most likely the former.
Therefore, as cabinet member for environment, instead of denying residents the use of the garden they were promised by covenant, please arrange a meeting for those residents to decide if they would like to avail themselves of it, and perhaps work to maintain and preserve it. If the response is poor, then you can feel entitled to keep it locked up like the Giant's Garden of Wilde's fable.
Yours sincerely,
Joe Kilker
