Judane

[Dratsy]

Wonder if they will now repay their loan in full ?

 

that would display a level of integrity that has been somewhat lacking in all their past dealings

Just settling down the other night to watch Simon King and Family amongst the Gannets fishing off Noss.

I wonder, was that the 'Judane Boat' they were using?

[ll]

I note that 'ourproperty.co.uk' is showing that Judane (Shetland) Ltd sold the old mill at Lower Blackhill Ind. Estate to T&N Joinery on 19th August 2011 for £580,479.

 

Wonder if they will now repay their loan in full ?

 

Think it sounds like this has been written off.

There is a company that lists Judane as one of its 'clients' - anyone heard of them??!!

Someone else from that company did pretty well from the SIC.

 

After scooping £100k for their last boat, have they managed to get any more cash for the one named at the pier today?

Not when there is so much Cronyism in our town hall

They just wright the debt off.

But god help you if you are a little old granny with back rent.

[icepick239]

Yes, it would be proper to receive a final accounting, regarding Judane...

Failing an answer by Mr & Mrs Miller, then perhaps SIC Officials could supply the requisite information....

This after all, was public funds..

[George.]

It was public funds but now that it's been stolen by the thieves that got away with it, it's rather private funds - or so I was told.

[keetiebairdie]

That's Mr and Councillor Miller you should ask for information! Good luck.

[paulb]

is there a rule about owing money to the public purse that stopped you standing for the council.

[JustMe]

Why oh why have the moderators allowed this posting to be here after several hours?. Surely it cannot be allowed to make this sort of allegation on a public forum.

Well Mr / Mrs / Ms Miller, perhaps the moderators are like all decent people and wonder how a company with a councillor as a director can claim poverty and not have to repay a £440,000 loan by getting it written off, then pocket the near £600,000 from the sale of the building !

[paulb]

very extreme. read the T&C.

 

however due to folks using the rules to their advantage they get to keep money that they should have repaid.

If you can't trust a council member to be doing their all for the public good you do have to ask should they be on the council and should they really have a say in how the trusts are run.

 

I think a rule that you can't be on any trust if you have had a grant/loan.

 

if you have failed to repay the money intrusted to you then you should not be able to gain any form of aid even if your just a spouse or advisor for any limited company.

 

maybe the directors should have to borrow the money personally that way a company can't fold and the directors are still wealthier than most of the islanders they borrowed money from.

 

its not thieft but its happened to often to be an accident.

I would suggest that in future you read what you are moaning about. Nobody was named, nobody was accused - or perhaps you can prove me wrong

And I would suggest that you at least try and get your facts right before you try correcting anybody..

 

Here's one to get you started.

Caroline Miller has never had any interest in Judane, financial or otherwise.

If it's just heresay, why are you spreading it?

Otherwise than her husband having an interest !!?

 

Obviously there was some form doubt from fellow councillors who made the following complaint.

 

I know they were 'cleared' but the whole thing whiff a bit.

She probably has enough other interests including plenty jointly held with the Judane boss. Are they related by any chance?
