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 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

Duplicated from the The Harbour View Blog because it 
links the Monitoring Officer for the Council and
 Mr Palmer <palmerk@parliament.uk>.
Neither addressed the questions raised;
http://theharbourview.co.uk/blog/from-nicola-robason-26-feb-20/
effectively denies any inappropriate conduct by Council; 
http://theharbourview.co.uk/blog/threat-from-simon-buck-26-feb-20/
wrongly applies a Parliamentary Code of Conduct to me.

Mail Delivery Notice of failure:-
The rejection from ELB’s inbox was expected but not that of Mr Palmer, Julie and Paul, two of the local residents, are probably on the list because they ask pertinent questions like, “Is it true what Mr Dawson is saying?” The answer is a simple yes.

Nicola was asked at the end of this email about the Head of Legal Services, Mr Harding as he was no longer responding to his mail or emails:-

Email: http://theharbourview.co.uk/blog/dear-monitoring-officer-5-may-2019/
It also remains that she has ignored the fact that the shed is 18.2m high where the approved drawing 8296/2 says it should be 15.5m.

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.

Subject: Correspondence with the Office of Emma Lewell-Buck

Dear Mr Dawson,

Thank you for your email sent this morning following from Mr Palmer’s telephone conversation to you yesterday afternoon.

I wish to address two points you raised. I was present during the conversation between Mr Palmer and yourself. I am afraid your recollection of the conversation was not a true account. Mr Palmer was polite, informative and accurate.

Mr Palmer correctly informed you that MPs have no influence over the Local Government Ombudsman, and he suggested that a possible course of action may be to complain further to the Local Government Ombudsman and suggested you take legal advice.

Finally, your suggestion that Mr Palmer, or any other staff member for that matter has been “warned off helping” Emma “by an official at the Town Hall” and then making references to the CLP trying to deselect Emma, is not only untrue but an unwarranted accusation. Your email seriously undermines Mr Palmer’s, Emma’s and the Office’s integrity and it is a very serious matter. I am very sorry that Emma is unable to help you further with this case and I consider this matter to be closed.

Dear Mr Dawson,
Thank you for your email sent this morning following from Mr Palmer's
telephone conversation to you yesterday afternoon.
I wish to address two points you raised. I was present during the
conversation between Mr Palmer and yourself. I am afraid your 
recollection of the conversation was not a true account. . . . . .

The email sent that morning was addressed to Emma the MP, not to Mr Buck, nor to Mr Palmer. It was sent to remind her/her staff that we had been talking to each other for years although the reference on the attached file should be toELB20Oct17.pdf and was made in response to an automatic reply. Apart from giving my personal details and a bit of background, I raise the question – who is Mr Palmer? Mr Buck did not answer the question and it still remains unanswered. MD, July 2020

For a full dissection of Mr Buck’s response to the email  addressed to his employer, please refer to the harbour view blog.

Dear Emma,
I gave my phone details to you partner to pass to a Mr Keith Parmer, he has them and I spoke to him yesterday on 0191 4271240.
Is it safe to assume he is your Office Manager in South Shields and we should write to him on any issues we have with UK Docks?
I am Michael David James Dawson of …. … Amble, Morpeth.
The case ZA4803, please see attached, and it has been with you for many years although it was passed to Anne Marie Trevelyan MP while I was lodging at ….., Amble.
.. Greens Place was on the market for about 4 years and I did not sell it until 2019. I was resident back there when UK Docks extended their shed in August 2017. I complained to you about the conduct of Councillor Anglin at that time and you suggested that I take it up with the Monitoring Officer, Mike Harding, and although I have not raised that issue with him I have discovered that he does not even acknowledge the receipt of any letters or emails let alone go any way to resolving any of the issues raised. I discovered this when I tried to raise a similar complaint with him at the back end of 2018.
Nicola Robeson does respond and she has confirmed that UK Docks were not given
permission for their shed retrospectively which makes one wonder why they told
you and Angela that they had.
Yours sincerely
Michael Dawson

Dear Mr Swales,

This letter concerns the conduct of your staff over the last two and a half years and has been occasioned by the email on December 9th, from Alison Hoy.

The Council will not declare what the planned height of the shed is;
The Council repeat unfounded statements;
The Council say that drawings are not to scale without reason;
The Council use unauthorised drawings as if they were legal documents. Continue reading Letter to CEO reposted from Main Site →
