Dear Mr Bradshaw

Cast your mind back to Fri 8th June 2007 when you attended a meeting with ALL the main oversight management, DCC and school heads in Exeter to try and resolve the H&S issues at the 6 PFI schools and in particular the heating and ventilation problems item.

Page 2 of the minutes. See also 2nd para page 3 under comments from GF ref Building ” overheating”. From the last para on page 3 there were another 39 PFI schools which had similar problems. See also page 2 item 5 on the defects which also raises poor air quality. In a nutshell the meeting minutes date June 2007 clearly indicate all parties were aware of the H&S issues which were never addressed after the meeting.

I would argue the meeting minutes date June 07 are prima facie grounds of wilful blindness by ALL parties.

For you information, action and files

Will Mr Bradshaw act? Does he ever?

Polite follow please on the two wind turbines which collapsed in Jan this year. I understand you are chasing this up with the Minister of Energy?!

With thanks
