I attended an Exeter Parks Watch (EPW) meeting at which Christine Fraser presented a 'Time Line' Chart that 'detailed' St.David's Neighbourhood Partnership's (SDNP) 'involvement' in the Lower St.David's community from 2003. Yet another blatant misrepresentation of the true facts by CF. The earliest involvement of EPW/SDNP was not until late 2006/early 2007. There had been a not so subtle shift shift from EPW to EPW and SDNP involvement in Lower St.David's. It was clear that Christine Fraser was determined to create a non-existent (SDNP) presence in Lower St.David's from 2003 when this was clearly untrue. No doubt this 'perceived' involvement would have improved SDNPs funding opportunities to take control of the Community Centre and was all 'part and parcel' of the caring/sharing rebranded SDNP.
I questioned CFs misrepresentation, as did other community representatives, and she commented that, "It (the chart) would need 'beefing up' a bit". From this comment I, and other community reps, deduced that further lies would be included to enhance the reputation and exaggerate the real contribution of SDNP. Susan Lawrence (EPW Chair) chose to ignore the concerns expressed by community reps at this obvious misrepresentation.
I was concerned that this 'self-serving' offering would/could affect future plans for our community. CF soon realised that she would get no support from our community in the 'SDNP self-promotion' cause based on her 'Time Line Fiction'.
By questioning the motives of Christine Fraser and those of Susan Lawrence, who supported CF, I only added to the increasing disenchantment that was becoming the norm at EPW meetings.
