Dear Mr Bradshaw MP

This letter from Carillion confirms the St Peters school drinking water is unsafe and unfit for purpose and has been like that since 2005.

No wonder the DCC are spending thousands of pounds defending their vexatious decision against me.

Yours in disgust.

Attn Exeter City Council.Planning Officer.

Dear Mr Stokes

Can you pease give me an explanation why you did not sign off the Completion Certificates for the 6 PFI schools until several years AFTER they were commissioned? Public buildings are usually signed off before they are commissioned and opened to the general public. Could this explain the irregularities and anomalies, eg drinking water and substandard windows, lightning protection inter alia?

Your sincerely

Alan M Dransfield

Dear Mr Bradshaw

May I ask you why you turned a blind eye to the fact the Exeter City Council post dated the Completion Certs for the 6 PFI schools by several years? Therefore, these schools were operating in a legal void due to the absence of the Completion Certificate.

It is a legal requirement to obtain a Completion Certificate before a public building is commissioned.

These schools are still operating in a legal void due to numerous irregularities e.g. contaminated drinking water, substandard windows and glazing, inadequate lightning protection and risk assessment of the same.

In a nutshell these schools are boondogle and you know it!

Yours in disgust

Carillion has admitted the school drinking water is unsafe.

Dear Mr Bradshaw

In Sept this year, you met with Carillion Management & the DCC to discuss the drinking water situation at the 6 Devon PFI schools as per the report below.

You must be more gullible than I had anticipated ….

Can you tell me why the drinking water fountains at St Peters School are STILL switched off?

If you click onto the link below you will see a photo of St Peters school and the child walking to the left demonstrates the dangers of the window safety, i.e. if those school windows are left open it would mean that any person/child passing by could crash into a window frame!

Are we to assume these windows are permanently closed to avoid such collisions? I note with a wry smile that the other 5 schools have strategically placed huge plant pots under these windows to mitigate such dangers. I would envisage several thousand pounds have been spent on large plant pots and their replacments which double up as safety bollards.

As you are aware, Carillion are currently suing the school designers ref the “WRONG TYPE” of window.

Mr Bradshaw, you need to come clean on your knowledge and involvement with these PFI schools and I refer to the meeting in June 2007 where such issues were discussed in length but unresolved.

As you are also aware, the DCC have spent a huge chunck of local taxpayers money fighting my FOIA request for school information, and I am currently awaiting a 5th FTT retrial on this matter.

DCC and the ICO have even stooped to dirty tactics to prevent me using the FOIA,i.e wrongfully accusing me of Contempt of Court, which alowed them to circumvente the FOIA 2000. Fortunately, this has been recently overturned by an Upper Tribunal Judge.

Shall we wait until the body bags are laid out at one of these schools before you come clean Mr B?

Yours in disgust

Dear Sirs
I would be most grateful for practical advice where to make an official complaint regarding serious H&S irrgeularities at 6 PFI schools in Exeter. There is prima facie evidence that these 6PFI schools in Exeter have been operating in a legal void since 205/06, and are in violation of the The Education Schools Premises Regulations 1999.

With thanks

Yours sincerely
