I WAS pleased to read that the future of the Royal British Legion Club in Marston is now secure, thanks to a loan from a benefactor.

What I would like to know, however, is why a tax bill was allowed to spiral to £54,225 in the first place?

I read that the club has been mismanaged for a lot of years, but this tax bill won’t have just appeared out of the blue.

The club will have been contacted by HM Revenue & Customs numerous times over the past few years, I’m sure. Why was no action taken before the bill reached this ridiculous level?
