From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.HUNDREDS of people are expected at a meeting near Coventry tomorrow to discuss grievances against the timeshare company Club Riviera, writes Maria Scott.
Club Riviera plc, a holding company, was a major seller of timeshare holidays in Spain and Tenerife. It was wound up in the High Court in February this year on the petition of a company called Collective Insurance Agency (Travel), which said it was owed pounds 147,000.
However, other subsidiary companies of Club Riviera continue to exist. The organisation has been the subject of a number of complaints from consumers.
Last July the Office of Fair Trading revoked the consumer credit licence of Club Riviera Sales and the licences of five other companies believed to be connected with it.
In April this year Simon Clarke and Laurence Werner, present or former executives of Club Riviera Sales, gave the OFT written undertakings that they would refrain from certain actions, including inducing consumers to enter into contracts by knowingly or recklessly making false or misleading statements.
Tomorrow's meeting will be attended by people who have bought timeshare properties from Club Riviera. Unhappy owners are expected to air a number of grievances, including complaints about the way their properties are managed and disputes over management charges.
The meeting is due to start at 10.30am at the New Exhibition Hall in the National Agricultural Centre, Stoneleigh Park, near Coventry.
