Dear Mr Bradshaw MP

Please see the following article ref credit card fraud by local authorities nationwide.

Could this be happening in Exeter? I have just submitted a FOIA recently
to both the City and Devon County Council for credit card details and
payments.

For your information,action and files.

Yours sincerely

Justice Select Committee

Dear Sirs

Please see the latest FOI decision from the Devon County
Council (DCC) which supports my claims the DCC are knowing and willfully breaching
the FOIA 2000 by sending out such FOIA/EIR decisions.

This particular school is the subject to a £7million
pound high court claim, hence, passes the public interest test. It therefore
beggars belief the DCC can attempt to rely on EIR Regs 12(4)(b) manifestly unreasonable.

The DCC claim context and history of my FOIA requests
being Health & Safety. However, this is a brand new request, and hence cannot be context and
history.

They also rely upon “The Burden of Compliance” which is neither section 14(1) of the FOIA or section 12 of the EIR. If they wish to rely
on a cost exemption they should apply the proper exemption.

This attached letter from the DCC is a tool to assist the
passage of fraud and Deception by the DCC.

Please add this letter from the DCC to my list of
complaints against the ICO & DCC.

For your information, action and files

With thanks

Yours etc

Rt Hon Erick Pickles Minister for Local Government and Rt Hon Ben Bradshaw
MP for Exeter.

Dear Mr Pickles and Mr Bradshaw

I received 4 FOIA responses yesterday Sat 25th Apr 2015 and no one of them
was refused under section 14(1) vexatious. Wow, I am impressed with the New FOIA
Officer Mr Simon Osborne.

They were:

1. Ref 2733697 Dartington School. Refused under EIR 12(4)(b) which is still vexatious in any language.

2.Ref 2733499 Chumliegh School. Refused. Do not hold information.

3.Ref2733996.Moretime required ref DCC credit cards.

4.Ref2733698. Full response ref DCC Legal Fee ref Dartington School legal fees.

However, I am still not satisfied with the Devon County Council because I now have to write
another letter and hand carry or send it by snail mail owing to the lifetime
email ban against me as I wish to seek a DCC review on their FOIA decisions in
1/4 above. I am also debarred using the DCC on-line complaint form.

Ref the item #1 above , the DCC exemption yesterday was in response to my
FOIA request for information on Dartington Eco School, which I remind you is
the new £7 million Eco School currently before the High Court which is
unsafe and unfit for purpose.

The DCC claim my Dartington FOIA request is “MANIFESTLY UNREASONABLE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION 12(4)(b)”.

My response to that is hogwash, we have a situation where a £7 million
pound school is unsafe and unfit for purpose and is currently before the High
Court which has cost the DCC £64K(so Far) in Legal Fees and the DCC claim EIR
section 12 (b)(4).

In a nutshell section 12(4)(b) of the EIR is a GET-OUT-OF-JAIL-FREE-CARD
and is in essence the bastard brother of section 14(1) vexatious.

It beggars belief the DCC have now claimed section “MANIFESTLY
UNREASONABLE” for this particular school which is unsafe and unfit for
purpose.

The public interest and public openness and transparency far outweighs the
DCC need for secrecy.

In the event you are re-elected at the General Election Mr Bradshaw, you
need to kick down some doors are ask the DCC why they are consistently abusing
the FOIA 2000 & EIR 98. The DCC is still knowingly and willfully abusing both Acts. Mr Pickles, in the event you are re-elected you also need to kick the
doors down and check the fuse boxes in the DCC transparency, accountability and
security (TAS) department because I claim the TAS lights have been turned off
for the last 5 years ref DCC FOIA .

For your information action and files

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield.

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the BBC URL link which shows the Devon County Council have used over 240
compromise agreement aka gagging orders.

This press report also claims you were very concerned about the use of
such agreements.

What did you actually do about it, Mr Bradshaw…?

In the event you get selected as MP for Exeter again …. you need
to kick some doors down at the DCC and demand some answers to your (my)
questions.

These compromised agreements are little short of gagging orders.

The fraudulent contract between the DCC and NPS is beginning to make sense now. The main aim of the DCC/NPS “Project Agreement” is to cut down the existing
DCC staff to a bare minimum, bring in a management team, treat the general public as a mushroom farm ,i.e keep them in the dark and feed them
b******t.

For you information, action and files.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the response from the Devon County Council ref my latest 4 Freedom Of Information requests and I
must say I am very impressed at their speedy response.

I would prophetise the DCC will refuse these requests under section 14/1
vexatious exemptions.

Time will tell.

For your information and files.

Yours sincerely
