BACKGROUND<\/strong><\/p>\n At the start of this campaign, it was made clear that officers of the council had stated that the geese in 2013 at Victoria Park Tipton had been “relocated to the Sandwell Valley”. <\/a>This was expressed by John Satchwell, senior parks manager , as well as the pest control company themselves, whose representative on the day made numerous claims about what they were there to do, at no time stating that they were going to cull them. This information was clearly utterly false and therefore a lie.<\/p>\n Added to this, the\u00a0Sandwell Valley manager Chris Moore, nature conservation officer Paul Smith and Matt Darby senior countryside ranger, all based in offices within the Sandwell valley claimed to know nothing about any “relocation”, which is illegal without a specific licence,\u00a0or<\/strong> any proposed \u00a0cull of the geese<\/span>.<\/p>\n Matt Darby was asked to send me pictures of the geese being released, and this he did in 2013, the email of which I have already published along with the pictures which he claims to have taken<\/a>. He also stated quite clearly that he had seen the geese from Victoria park exiting the trailer onto the causeway at Forge Mill Lake, an RSPB nature reserve which is also part managed by Sandwell Council.<\/p>\n One of three pictures taken by Matt Darby and sent to me via email using his Sandwell.Gov email account matt_darby@sandwell.gov.uk<\/p><\/div>\n In 2014, after the disappearance of geese at Victoria park again, and seeing the same fencing set up in the park,\u00a0I attempted to contact the same officers to ask what they may know. None appeared\u00a0to be at work that week\u00a0, and it was with some reluctance that I accepted to speak to John Satchwell to see what he would actually admit. During this phone conversation, he repeatedly claimed that the geese had again been relocated, whereby I informed him that this would be illegal. He also claimed that this had been done over a number of years, whereby geese from formal parks had been relocated to Sandwell Valley, Sheepwash Nature Reserve and Woden Road. All these sites were named by him directly. The phone call conversation ended abruptly when he put the phone down, this after making unfounded allegations against myself in a smokescreen attempt to change the subject and divert the pursuit of the truth, and his perverted version of it.<\/p>\n “CANADA GEESE ARE QUITE PAROCHIAL”<\/span><\/strong> HE CLAIMED WHEN STATING THAT THE RELOCATED BIRDS WOULD FLY BACK TO TIPTON- DIFFICULT TO SEE HOW WHEN THEY HAVE HAD THEIR NECKS BROKEN.<\/p>\n He also made verbal threats before this.<\/p>\n JS “…I might do something that you might regret and something that I might regret.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n IC “Is that a threat”<\/span><\/p>\n JS “Yes you can take it as a threat.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n “YOU LITTLE SHIT.”<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n As officers of the council, I took their words at face value, as I have known them for a number of years, and believed that they could be trusted. Alas it now appears that these liars were part of a conspiracy of silence within the corrupt<\/strong> Parks and Countryside Department at this council , and I use this word carefully under the terms of the dictionary definition. “CORRUPT”<\/a> adjective<\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 1.<\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n guilty<\/span> of<\/span> dishonest<\/span> practices,<\/span> as<\/span> bribery;<\/span> lacking<\/span> integrity;<\/span> crooked:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BACKGROUND At the start of this campaign, it was made clear that officers of the council had stated that the geese in 2013 at Victoria Park Tipton had been “relocated to the Sandwell Valley”.
