David Gawn: Theft

David Gawn (Labour)

David Gawn, of Lankers Drive, South Harrow, appeared afresh at Hendon Magistrates’ Court on Monday on a charge of the attempted theft of £7,000 belong to Dennis O’Brien on or before August 5 last year.

His case was committed to Harrow Crown Court and the Labour ward councillor for Harrow on the Hill was granted unconditional bail to appear for a plea hearing there on June 22.

Gawn previously appeared on the same charge twice before at the same magistrates’ court, on January 5 and on February 23, before the court discharged the committal of the case to the crown court, on March 15.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) formally re-charged Gawn and re-registered the case on March 27, leading to Monday’s hearing.

Gawn’s solicitor Julian Prus told the Observer his client will deny the charge.

He's a crooked man and should never have been allowed to stand as a councillor and thereby use that status to con more people - disabled or not he should be locked up - he used his position and disability in the most immoral way. He knows what he did - it was a deliberate act !!!

David Gawn's trial has been postponed until November 5 for a case management hearing to allow the submission of "further evidence".

Harrow Councillor David Gawn (Labour, Harrow on the Hill), must be hoping for an end, sometime soon, to his own personal nightmare of ongoing court appearances.
Having last appeared in early October, he was there again earlier this week, but the wheels of justice seem to be turning slower than ever. On Monday’s appearance, the Crown Prosecution Service made an application to join another similar charge, but this was rejected by the judge – who said there had already been too many delays.
His next appearance will be November 19, 2012.

What happens to this second charge – the one the judge refused to be joined to the first – is a mystery, but this doesn’t seem to be concluding anytime soon.

Attention Labour Voters in Harrow-on-the-Hill. David Gawn is still your Cllr! But if you wouldn't trust him for a second then at least you can try Ann Gate.

She does a lot of work for charity and is very knowledgeable when it comes to schools.

Yes you're right about Ann Gate but see her husband Brian Gate on this web site. Will you be happy to share your personal info. with her?

She made Brian look convincing and this helped cloak his real motivation for being near kids.Avoid.

Life is suspended for Gawn - got 10 weeks hung out for 12 months and a curfew. I wonder if this will stop him telling so many lies and being so selfish? He could start demonstrating some civility and respect for others by stepping down.

Such a let off! Looks like Judge Greenwood may have been taken in by Gawn's dishonest use of his disability like many others have been. It's not good for the millions of honest people with disabilities in this country when someone who exploits public office in this way just gets a slap on the wrist

It was Judge Dodd not Greenwood who had the wool pulled over his eyes. He says Gawn is a man of good character!!! If he only knew.

Let Ann deal with the sensitive casework...if you have rocks in your head.

It's just as well there's a third Coun. for this ward.

He has resigned from HCRFM and been replaced by fellow director John Hinkley's wife Conservative councillor for Harrow Jean Lammiman. Should we be concerned?
