By the 4th of January whoever was advising Alison was clutching at straws because my complaint to the Ombudsman a was about the breach of the second condition not the fifth.
As I said, it was just a planning officer’s opinion and even the Ombudsman has said that she could not comment on this. Because the complaint about the 5th Condition was not registered and there was no record of Alison’s response either, she was able to send me round the cycle of deceit again but you will notice this time I included Cllr Anglin as a sort of witness to what is going on. He proved to be extremely unreliable but was the only one available as I had not met with the MP or Cllr Hamilton till later in 2017.
By the 9th of January Alison had created a complaint about noise for me with a reference number 300150 but I still did not have one for Sunday Working and by then Cllr Anglin had washed his hands of the business.
He was, to all intents and purposes, letting me be accused of making allegations about the noise being created on Sunday December the 18th so I sent a photograph of the shed being put to use that morning. It was taken by a neighbour.
There were no vessels being taken onto the slipway or being launched that day!
If the facts are checked it is Cllr Anglin who was making an allegation about the residents that he was elected to represent, not just me. In this he has taken a leaf out out the Corporate Lead’s copy book.
To justify the fact that there ware no approved drawings to back UK Dock’s and the Council’s claim that their shed was the permitted height she misled the MP for Berwick by implying that our claims were baseless allegations – see last page of Part 1.
As Cllr Anglin bows out so Mr Burrell makes an entrance and I will not bore you with all the details except to say that he leaves the stage with:

He was quite insistent that I used a time-sheet belonging to 272189 but it was for a complaint belonging to another resident which had expired a while before 18-Dec-2016. Customer Advocates confirmed this a bit later: The reference number 272189 does not refer to a feedback logged on your behalf but to a 3rd party. This cannot therefore be sent to you.
My visit to the Town Hall on 1-Feb-2017 confirmed that ‘Gary’ had not raised a complaint about breach of the 5th Condition. It appears that Mr Simmonette was well versed in how to corrupt the Council’ Complaints Procedure. First of all he fails to register a complaint about it [1] then lays it off to Customer Advocates to spout misinformation at me [5].
Mr Burrell was no better, he supplies me with time-sheets for a closed complaint, a back pass [2] in other words, and fails to register my complaint or pass the complaint [1]. Alison did register one about noise 300150 but by that time I was aware that the time sheets being monitored by Mr Burrell were of no value. My request that he get a grip on things, 6-Feb-17, was ignored: Please forward this to Customer Services – If neither incident 272189 nor 300150 can be reassigned to your Planning Section please ensure that both are closed and a new one raised for Sunday working by UK Docks. They were at work again yesterday.
The Fifth Condition specifically applies to the use of the shed on a Sunday. There is no restriction to the use of offices etc. outside standard hours and that still stands. UK Docks never put in a request for it to be reconsidered retrospectively. The issue was referred to the Interim Head of Legal Services because it is obvious and the article of July 2020 was deliberately selected because of the use of the term vexatious. It was first used to describe the activities of a former constituent of the South Shields’ MP by her former husband and his ‘friend’ Mr Palmer in February that year.
