It may or may not be controlled by the brats who live there --- but certain parents do exercise power in the halls of the local council and committees, and this power often leads toward a hidden corruption which forbids challenge or scrutiny of any kind.
Certain people behind the scenes have an influence they force on others, deciding they know best for the community, and they are not without their followers, who like sheep, think they are in good safe hands, thus remaining silent, which of course let's the evil prevail.
Amazingly, they are identifiable by their positions which they are keen to advertise in a number of areas in community life.... such as the Arts, Education, Politics, Business and essential services.
They are slow to change and fear it often, and quickly stamp on weakness, especially any weakness that may alert critics to the real state of affairs, thus challenging their control and hold on others.
Ernie and Maureen are all too familiar with the quiet creepy lurking danger of 'agents' to the Triangle and what they do.
These people are ever-present and able to use gossip forums to vent their thoughts in order to communicate with their peers. which in turn is discussed with the intention of eliminating or silencing the foe.
But Ernie and Maureen are of sturdy and finer stuff, and what they can expose, they do, in order to put some balance into the evil atmosphere that tries to smother 'those people' who are not welcome to the place called HELLSEY, and most significantly, the dark ones in the Large Acres Triangle.
One such example of this was told to Ernie by a man who moved to Hellsey from the Twitterings, only several miles from the cursed Hellsey.
He was up to that time, under the impression that the Twitterings had some awful folk, but on reflection, the greetings and subsequent events turned into something dreadful from a bunch of Hellsey residents, who the word clique really suited.
It all started with smiles and the occasional nod as he moved into the new house with his wife. It was situated in a corner position of a crossroads with the front door facing one road, and a rear door which had access from a 'private' road. Things went okay for a while until he parked a van alongside his house in the 'private' access. The several residents in the road without warning, signed and wrote a letter of complaint to him, and went to the local council (choosing not to talk to him face to face). They sent him documents indicating he had no rights, but these documents had been manipulated by the 'residents' with one page removed! They also claimed his van was commercial, but failed to notice that it carried a PLG rating, Private Light Goods, and they still came at him. This caused his wife stress and illness, but they gave no consideration to that. And when they saw him making access to his back garden to make a parking area for the van which he was doing for security they still didn't let up with their campaign against him. They immediately became opposed to the property changes he was making on his own land. After a while the council gave their decision and and agreed that he had not breached any rules or possessed a commercial vehicle. In fact he was allowed to use the 'private' access road, because the 'missing page' indicated that he was entitled to be in the scheme to share in the expenses of keeping the road in repair with the others. Obviously they didn't want his sort, and they conspired to exclude him and make him feel unwelcome.
This not only resembled the Large Acres Triangle, but had all of the features of being another despicable den of people willing to go to any lengths to control an area.
One can only wonder how many more Triangles exist in the Hellsey district?
