Dear Mr Bradshaw

Further to my letter yesterday about the repair works at the
Brand New Haven Banks Centre on the Quay.

Low and behold, when I returned home yesterday at 5pm, the
scaffold had been taken away. Hence, we must assume the repair works have been
completed satisfactorily. However, I am still keen to find out the full extent
of the recent repair works which has taken over a month to complete.

Don’t you think it is a wee bit suspicious that this building should need extensive repair works so soon?

Could it be the Devon County Council are running some sort of repair scam or construction fraud? ……I would
envisage you could see this building and scaffold from your bedroom window

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Haven Banks Outdoor Centre – repairs so soon?

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the attached photograph of the Haven Banks
Leisure Centre,which, as you are aware is a multi million pound education
centre which was commissioned only 12/18 month ago.

As you can see the photograph suggests there is current
heavy construction works at four (4) levels of the building and the scaffolding
schedule alone would suggest the repair works is a six figure sum.

It beggars belief this building is now subjected to
extensive works so soon after it was commissioned.

As you are aware, I am on record stating this building is
unsafe and unfit for purpose. Hence, I call upon my MP to write to the
appropriate oversight authorities asking for a full explanation and the cost of these
current works.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Is the tide turning on vexatious decisions?

Dear Mr Bradshaw MP

It would appear the ‘penny has dropped’ with the authorities ref this vexatious BS.

Is it not time you dragged your head out of the sand and
kicked down some doors at the Devon County Council?

Best regards

Will Ben Bradshaw even understand the concept?

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Corrupt Judges

Please see the following report ref the subject title. What concerns me is that when corrupt judges are found guilty of wrongdoing, they get a slap across the wrist. I would advocate they should be banned for life when not meeting the minimum standards.

Ditto for corrupt MP’s and Local Government Officials. That would send a clear message to them.

Haven Banks Outdoor Centre

Dear Mr Bradshaw

As you are aware, I have written to you several times
about the Haven Banks Outdoor Centre which is a £5 million leisure centre
designed and built by the Devon County Council and operated by the Exter
College.

This building was commissioned approx 12/15 months ago,
hence it most disconcerting to see the building is currently subject to major
repair works, see attached photograph, showing external scaffolding which has
been erected this week. Can you please write to the appropriate authority asking
for an explanation why a brand new building requires extensive repair
works so soon after commissioning?

I am on record that
this building is substandard, unsafe and not fit for purpose. I would,
under normal circumstancea, ask the Devon County Council myself, but as you are aware they placed a
lifetime email ban against me and they consider all my questions as vexatious.

For your information, action and files.

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield



Hang Your Heads in Shame, Supreme Court

Dear Mr Bradshaw MP

The UK Supreme Court have booted Dransfield into touch, which effectively rubber stamps the Court of Appeal vexatious BS. This SC decision effectively weakens the
FOIA 2000 and allows rogue public authorities a get-out-of-jail-free card.

At this juncture I have not seen a copy of the SC
decision and reasons. as their decision has not yet been published.

LThis means I have now exhausted the British Legal system
and I shall now seek legal redress in the European Court of Human Rights, which doesn’t install any
confidence as the ECHR registrar assistant Michelle Lafferty would appear to destroy most
applications on a whim.

No person applying a right and proper mind could have
reached the same decision as the Supreme Court, so we must assume they reached
the decision by a perverse mindset.

Two important anomalies are already identified with the
Dransfield Case UKSC/2015/0173 Dransfield v ICO. They are:

1. It was not listed
on the SC listing of Applications.

2. Their decision is not recorded at their website.

In short, I feel the SC would appear to be complicit with the CoA and
ICO to pervert the course of justice and in particular sect 77 of the said
Act. In essence the UK SC have assassinated the FOIA 2000, and vexatious exemptions will be handed out on a whim.

Hang your heads in shame Supreme Court.

I call upon my MP to call for Public Inquiry into the
latest SC decision.

With thanks

Another £300k wasted? Sigh.

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the attached photograph of a fish ladder recently
built (3#) in Exeter near Trews Weir. Obviously, the designers of these ‘fish ladders’ have never seen salmon and trout jumping out of
the water to scale waterfalls.

Fish are prevented from jumping out of the water because the
Devon County Council and Environmental goons have fully enclosed the ‘fish ladders’ with grills.

I would envisage these fish ladders have cost in the region
of £300k. Money well spent?

In short, these fish ladders are boondoggles.

Please add this to my long list of complaints.

Yours etc

Flood prevention, River Exe at Trews Weir, Exeter

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the photograph of the line of buoys recently
installed on the new flood prevention on the River Exe at Trews Weir, Exeter and
as you can see there was not a lot of thought put into the design of these
buoys.

I would question the need for such buoys because there
haven’t been any for the last 30 years. Plus the fact the Devon County Council Environment
Designers need retraining on the laws of gravity and water flow – see photo.

I would expect you can see this debacle and the fish ladders
from your kitchen window; hence this sort of BS is going on right under you
snout.

Not another Environmental Dept boondoggle??

The fish ladder can be seen on the bottom right of the photo.

Yours etc

Dransfield
