@AristotleMrs @RestoreTrustNT @CSCJuett @nationaltrust Banks and insurance companies have ombudsman - they are not charities. And yes many large landlords (excluding the National Trust) subscribe to the Housing Ombudsman. There is no good reason why the National Trust couldn’t have an ombudsman.

@rfctabs @CubbingtonWds @RestoreTrustNT I’m sorry but that is not accurate. There are lots of farmers, tenants, members and volunteers with legitimate concerns. You shouldn’t sweep them all aside blaming ‘infiltrators’. There were lots of legitimate resolutions and people standing for the Council.

@MilesKing10 @RestoreTrustNT @CSCJuett @nationaltrust That may be what they say but I know for a fact that the Charity Commission refuse to investigate individual cases. They state they are not an ombudsman.

[. @TrowanFarm]

@MilesKing10 @RestoreTrustNT @CSCJuett @nationaltrust He did that too. They replied that they don’t look into individual cases. They are not an ombudsman. I think they even say that on their website.

@MilesKing10 @dr_scholler @RestoreTrustNT @CSCJuett @nationaltrust Phil Bradby stood as an independent candidate as did all the people who stood for the Council. Read his statement.

@MilesKing10 @RestoreTrustNT @CSCJuett @nationaltrust Yes our MP tried.

@dr_scholler @MilesKing10 @RestoreTrustNT @CSCJuett @nationaltrust We are 100% independent. Just have some experience of the NT making mistakes and have chaired a well governed Charity.

@MilesKing10 @RestoreTrustNT @CSCJuett @nationaltrust The Charity Commission won’t look at individual cases. It is not an Ombudsman.

[. @TrowanFarm]

@nt_scones @KnoleNT The National Trust was created by Parliament. It’s not a government body but there is absolutely no reason why it couldn’t have an Ombudsman to help resolve problems when they arise. All sorts of organisations and companies benefit from them.

[. @TrowanFarm]

@MilesKing10 @RestoreTrustNT @CSCJuett @nationaltrust The Charity Commission won’t investigate individual cases so tenants, farmers, volunteers, covanantors etc have no recourse. Why not have an ombudsman to help resolve problems? All good institutions have them!

[. @TrowanFarm]

@jamesinealing @CSCJuett @RestoreTrustNT @nationaltrust Yes the debate was subverted to be left against right and all common sense went out of the window. Sadly the tenants, farmers, volunteers and covenantors who need an Ombudsman suffer as the NT management became unimpeachable.

[. @TrowanFarm]

@NickPoole1 Absolutely not. The Charity Commission won’t look at individual cases. The National Trust is an enormous, powerful institution that sometimes makes mistakes. Tenants, farmers, volunteers, conanantors etc sometimes need help. Its just good governance.

[. @TrowanFarm]

@CharlieMawer The National Trust is an enormous powerful institution which makes mistakes from time to time. It absolutely needs an Ombudsman to help tenants, farmers, volunteers, covanantors etc who otherwise have nowhere to turn.

[. @TrowanFarm]

@CeliaRichards0n Do you think having an Ombudsman is a bad idea? What about NT tenants, volunteers, farmers, covanantors who need someone independent to turn to if they have a problem? The NHS, Local Authorities, Universities, Parliament etc have them. Sounds like simple good governance to me.

[. @TrowanFarm]

@CeliaRichards0n The role of the NT council is to hold the Trustees to account. How can they can do that if members are “recommended” ie selected by the NT management? The AGM established that the NT can defeat all independent candidates and members resolutions. A total failure of NT governance.

@aljhlester @nationaltrust Did you vote against an Ombudsman? What about NT tenants, volunteers, farmers, covanantors etc having someone independent to turn to if they have a problem? The NHS, Local Authorities, Universities, Parliament etc have them. Sounds like simple good governance to me.
