[Inside Out Statement] Suspension of Mrs Cumbers [Town Estate Response] 
At a meeting of the trustees on Monday 10th November 2008, the trustees voted on the motion to ‘suspend’ Mrs Cumbers as a consequence of her actions (that were considered to undermine the best interests of the Charity). The trustees voted by a significant majority to ‘suspend’ Mrs Cumbers from further meetings until the end of her term of office in October 2008. However, following a meeting with the Charity Commission on the 10th December 2008 the Commission advised the Chairman of Feoffees that- ‘there are no provisions within the government document that allow the Feoffees to suspend a Feoffee’. This ‘ruling’ by the Charity Commission was adhered by and Mrs Cumbers continued in full, her duties as a Feoffee (trustee).
