Sports Ground Safety Authority.

Dear Mr Perkins

There is no point giving me any email contact for the Devon
County Council because they have imposed a lifetime email ban against me.
Please see the As Built H&S File (ABHSF) attached which supports my
allegations that the Rugby Bridge is unsafe and unfit for purpose.

I appreciate this is not the ABHSF for the Rugby Stadium but
rest assured the Stadium itself is a Lighting deathtrap. The Rugby Stadium is
non-compliant to the BS/EN 62305/2008 .

It would automatically follow that the Stadium Safety
Certificate has been obtained under fraudulent means.

As you are aware, the Rugby World Cup matches will be played
in the Sandy Park stadium and visitors, players. officials and spectator
safety has been compromised because of Lightning Protection failures.

I would also remind you of similar LPS failures on the
Olympic Stadium which has placed HM The Queen in mortal danger.

The Sports Ground Safety Authority have failed their duty of
care and I would be most grateful if you would give me your line manager’s name
and email please.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Bradshaw

As you are aware, I have raised this particular matter
several times with you before and to date, you have ignored my allegations that
Devon schools are not being provisioned with adequate or minimum lightning
protection systems.

Please see the attached Maintenance Agreement 2010/2015
between the DCC and Norfolk Property Services and in particular, para
15.7 which clearly states that Lightning Risk Assessment WILL be undertaken.
This is a legal requirement under the H&S at Work Act 74 and the BS/EN
62305/2008 inter alia.

There is no particular evidence anywhere on the DCC website
which confirms this Lightning Risk Assessment (LRA) has been
undertaken at any Devon School.

On the contrary, there is factual evidence that Devon
schools have NOT been provisioned with minimum Lightning Protection System
safety and the LRA have been wilfully and criminaly ignored.

In the event that LRA has been neglected and omitted, it
leaves the children and staff at all Devon Schools vulnerable to Lightning
dangers. It also raises the question if the schools are operating in a legal
void and would their Public Liability insurance cover be revoked in the event
of lightning damage at any Devon schools.

For your information, urgent action and files

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Lost his moral compass

Dear Mr Bradshaw

It is with deep regret that I have reached the conclusion
you have lost your moral compass with your consistent failure to acknowledge or
respond to my concerns for life-threatening dangers in and around Exeter.

You have refused categorically to allow my access to your
Friday night surgery, you have recently debarred me from you Facebook page and you
have refused to reply or acknowledge dozens of my emails ref fraud and
theft of public funds, criminal negligence by the Devon County Council, inter alia.

You have failed your fiduciary duty of care as my MP to
assist a constituent in need of help..

Unfortunately, I have no other recourse of action other than
the ballot box but that will not prevent me from exposing you as the fraud
which you are.

Yours in disgust

Alan M Dransfield
