Dear Mr Bradshaw
I strongly recommend you should forward this HSE report to your shadow secreatary as it indicates the HSE have failed their duty of care ref Public safety from Wind Turbines and WT collapse in general.
I am in the process of obtaining specific details for the two WT collpases in the South West, but this particular report indicate serious failing at the HSE and the Dept of Pensions
best regards
Alan

Dear Mr Bradshaw
A news article on yet another wind turbine collapse. This is the same type of wind turbine (2#) which collapsed in the South West in Jan this year.
Why is it taking the Ministry of Energy so long to respond to your letter on this matter?
For your information, actions and files.
With thanks

Dear Mr Bradshaw MP
I acknowledge and thank you for your letter, in which you state you have now written to the Dept of Energy and Climate Change ref the subject title.
Please check my original complaint to you and you will see I had requested you write to the HSE for a copy of their report into these two collapsed Wind Turbines, not the Dept of Energy and Climate Change! And only yesterday, you complained to me that your staff were too busy to deal with the issues I raised.
Really and truly, I should not need the assistance of my MP on such matters; I should be able to send the HSE a quick email requesting a copy of their report. However, as you are aware, I am under a lifetime email ban from the HSE.
Why do I get a gut feeling the HSE are lying to me?
It beggars belief the HSE have not yet published their report on these two wind turbines which collapsed in high winds in January of this year. Obviously, the wrong type of wind.
I fervently believe the HSE milk this type of incident and there is an urgent need to review the HSE role in such matters. In my view they need to play a proactive role as opposed to their current reactive role.
I fervently believe the root causes behind these collapses are substandard material, poor oversight supervision, substandard design and inferior workmanship.
By the way, I reached this conclusion within seven days of the collapse and less than 24 hrs of a site inspection, hence I can’t wait to see what the HSE claim as the root cause. You might want to ask the HSE how much it has cost the taxpayer for the HSE investigation into these two turbine collapses. A tidy sum, no doubt!
With thanks
Yours sincerely
Alan Dransfield
