LettertoHJ-02Sep16.pdf (92 KB) – A criticism of the second hatchet job by Hayley Johnson. Needless to say, she ignored it but the main thing was her switch from complaint 248789 to 253539. The later number was invented by the Head of Development Services to hide the corruption of the complaints procedure by him and his staff else they would not have been able to take the complaint to the fourth stage, the Ombudsman. There were two emails following the one of the 4th April. None of the questions raised in any of them was addressed by Mr Mansbridge: Continue reading To Monitoring Officer, 22-JUL-20 →

This message confirms that the MP and her office Manager at the turn of the year are now being excluded from incoming mail from mick.dawson@theharbourview.co.uk but Mr Palmer is not. It was the equivalent of Mr Palmer deleting their copies and note that the software for doing this was in place by mid January. Mr Buck is no longer of any use to Mr Palmer and it looks like he is to be kept in the dark along with the MP for South Shields.

The email that Mr Palmer censored can be viewed here.

Dear Councillors,

I’ll try and keep this short. My correspondence with Emma is being bounced by some blacklisting software introduced by Keith Palmer who appears to be one of her office staff:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

I know it is he and not Simon Buck because Mr Palmer installed the software from mimecast.com on the server in Emma’s office some time between 20th and the 24th February – see attached.
It only goes to prove the case against him made this lunchtime, see email to Emma below, is well founded and if one of you can forward your copy with its attachment/ MPemailsDec19Jan20.pdf/ to emma.lewell-buck.mp@parliament.uk it would be much appreciated.

The last paragraph says quite a lot and I knew what I meant when I wrote it. For clarity it has been rewritten for those who wish to get acquainted with the facts:-

Dear Nicola,

I should have written and thanked you for confirming that UK Docks have never been granted permission for the shed we now see on River Drive. The question remains why did they tell Councillor Hamilton and the MP for South Shields some time in March or April 2019 that they had permission for it.

If you had looked at the background to this which I outlined to you in a letter on the 5th December (now reattached) you will see that that UK Docks were given permission to build an enclosure on their slipway with a height of 15m at the river end but they built one with a height of 18.2m and the argument about whether it has been approved or not has not been settled because the Council continue to imply, contrary to the evidence, that it is not 2.7m taller than permitted.

You say /“It remains the case that all complaints procedures relating to this matter have been exhausted both internally within the Council and externally.”/ but that is not true because the lie, misinformation and/or misrepresentation given by the Local Authority, told to the Ombudsman still remains uncorrected:

/The complainant says the shed is also 3 metres higher than it should be. The Council says it is not. There is no fault in how the Council decided the shed is the permitted height. /Ombudsman 15-Apr-15

Until it is corrected you are not entitled to say that all relating to this matter has been exhausted. I have tried to correct it but they just dismiss it because the say that my complaint remains the same.

Only someone with authority over the people that misled the Ombudsman are now able to correct it and if it is not you please tell me who would be in a position to do this if it is not the MP for South Shields

Yours sincerely,
Michael Dawson

Hi Angela,
The message below only goes to confirm my suspicions about Mr Palmer and it was received within a minute of the email sent to Simon and copied to you and others yesterday.
It appears Mr Palmer is not working in Emma’s interest but rather for the same party that tried to deselect Emma and excluded you from the Labour Group.
He appears to have been planted in Emma’s office to serve those who wish to the hide facts about the shed from general view so I’ve attached ‘Destroying Evidence’, ‘Dishonesty at the Town Hall’ and a copy of the email that Mr Parker has blanked and please forward them to Emma if she has not seen them.
I had made no secret of the fact that I had moved back to Amble in September 2017 and had maintained fairly amiable with Emma’s office until October last year. That was when I first began to receive auto responses from Emma’s office and I thought that had been sorted when I copied her an email addressed to Nicola Robason on the 31st January. It obviously had not and In what looks like an act of coercive control Mr Parker has put me on a black list and I wonder if Emma, Paul and Julie know they have been added by him as well.
The fact that he put me on a blacklist rather confirms my point about his and Hayley’s paymaster.
Cheers
Michael

Destroying Evidence: 20-Feb-20

Dear Mr Palmer,
You appear to be new to your post and so I given you some background to the Council’s early responses to our complaint that the shed was taller and wider than permitted. Please see ‘Destroying Evidence’ which I have attached. It should more properly be labelled ‘Hiding Evidence’ or ‘Sweeping stuff under the Carpet’ but we cannot know that our emails have not been deleted nor our letters put in the bin.
Please see also below the email sent to your office two and a half years ago and the response I had from Emma about 4 hours later giving an account of her discussions with the Council and a meeting with the directors of UK Docks in the spring of 2017. Central to that account are:
/Unfortunately, the Ombudsman’s decision cannot be re-visited. & I have met with the directors of UK Docks and have also liaised with the council and I am certain that no laws have been broken and the council are also discharging their functions correctly in relation to the boat yard and the subsequent containers which have caused concern to residents./

From the first it appears that the Council can give misinformation/misrepresentation (lie) to Ombudsman and there is nothing we can do about it and I would just like to add that when she met with the Directors in the Spring, the containers were not an issue as they were not hoisted on top of each other till August when UK Docks needed the space to assemble the sixth frame. I you look at any of the plans submitted in 1996 there are only 5 and this brings me to the main point of this email.
That she has must have been told that no laws have been broken and that might be true but to say that to mean that the shed is built to the approved plans is fraudulent misrepresentation.

1 Attachment D8296_2.pdf

Dear Nicola,
Please see trail below. I’d like to emphasise that when I gave my personal details to Mr Buck I did it in good faith and said I would talk over phone to Mr Palmer about the corruption with UK Docks.
I should not have talked over the phone but the pair of them hooked me with the bait that we could talk honestly about UK Docks. If Mr Palmer’s intentions were honourable he would have told me that that Mr Buck was listening to the call as well. The Message I got from Mr Palmer was that he actually wanted to close down any dialogue about UK Docks which reminded me of one of the first written communications from Peter Cunningham, Principal Planning Officer, Fri, 20 Dec 2013:
//Mr Dawson – once again – I have measured this on site and have copied the 1996
plans across to you twice already (attached again for your use) and I have
explained during our meeting that the base and height of the structure are
compliant…this is the end of the matter as far as I am concerned.. Please do
not email me again.

Corruption at the Town Hall

From: mick.dawson@theharbourview.co.uk
Date: 24/01/2020 (10:38:22 BST)
To: BUCK, Simon
Cc: Keith Palmer, Cllr Angela Hamilton

Dear Simon,

I notice that my email to Keith yesterday did not bounce from Emma’s mailbox at parliament.uk. Thank you for removing the block from mick.dawson at the harbourview.

When he alluded to vexatious mail I assumed he had his ear bent by someone at the Town Hall but I’d forgotten that I’d published ‘Corporate Lead and Members of Parliament‘ in NOVEMBER and he may have got the wrong story from that.

I will be editing it during the day to ensure that folk do not pick up the wrong message again and when I have done that I will try and get the Town hall to admit that the shed is nearly 3m taller than permitted.

That has been our problem for over six years with UK Docks and to save another attachment you can look up ‘Denials‘ on the website at the harbour view and note that 40-43 refer to the same correspondence, with firstly the Chief Executive and then Hayley Johnson. The references to my correspondence following the Case’s jaunt around Northumberland appear to have lost and I’ll fill in the gap which has appeared between 30 and 34 over the week end.

You should have noticed by now that I have generally copied Emma for information and I was a bit upset when my email to her the end of OCTOBER ‘Dishonesty at the Town Hall’ was blanked.

I’m fairly certain that I’ve made no pretence that I was still living in South Shields though I am still on Council’s mailing list for notices concerning the payment of rates though they have not been my responsibility since April 2018.

In the meantime I’ll tackle the Town Hall about Sunday working and the sneaky extension to the ‘Shed’ in August 2017 and continue to let Emma know what I’m doing.

I think we can make a case for her and Angela seeing the Chief Executive and putting him on the spot as they did UK Docks in March last year but we can only do that by working together.

Not only did UK Docks shoot themselves in the foot over say they had planning permission, they blasted a hole through the Town Hall’s claim that the shed had been approved.

Kind regards

Michael.
