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
