Stockport Council News

Mr Battersby, not a chap to leap into action!

Dear Mr Battersby

Thank you for your recent letter…

My complaint is that Stockport Council is wasting hundreds of police hours on a simple problem they are paid to sort out. There is an offence of wasting police time. I think that should come within your remit.

Please let me have:-

1) details of how to progress a complaint to the next stage

2) under the FOIA I should like any documents showing how you have looked into this problem in the past, as I have raised it many times before being forced to make an official complaint. Have you, for example, asked how many times the police have been called out to Mr. Parnell, how many court appearances officers have had to make, how many nights Mr Parnell has spent in police cells, what he has ever been charged with?

I shall investigate elsewhere how Mr Parnell came to have a restraining order for a crime he was acquitted of and after council employees were found in court to be lying. It seems a bit odd to me. I shall also investigate elsewhere how his restraining documents appear to be incorrectly filled out and presumably illegal anyway.

I shall take the matter to the Home Secretary if necessary. I don’t think anyone will come out of this well – not Stockport Council, not the police, not the CPS, not the Police Authority. I think the only one who will come out smelling of roses will be decent and honest – Mr Parnell.

With very warmest best wishes

Sheila

Will Mr Battersby get off his bottom this time and act?

Dear Mr Battersby

That is exactly my point. I have tried for over a year to act on Mr. Parnell’s behalf and the Council blocked me.

I think he has a potentially massive claim for damages against Stockport Council and if they can drive him mad or imprison him, then that will be the end of the matter. They don’t want his problem sorted out, which is a simple matter, they would rather abuse the time of the police in Greater Manchester.

I am merely highlighting the issue to relevant journalists, and if the Chief Constable would smash a few heads together at Stockport Council it wouldn’t go amiss.

Kind regards

Sheila

Dear Ms Oliver

I am grateful to you for clarifying the position regarding your recent email to the Chief Constable. I note that you are not intending it to be read as a formal complaint against him. It would appear that the principal basis of your complaint is about Stockport Council for taking action against Mr Parnell and involving the Police.

Many thanks

Mr Battersby, PCC’s solicitor is looking at Mr Parnell’s case again

Let’s hope Mr Battersby does a proper job this time.

Some of his comments from the past:-

Dear Mr Battersby

I merely point out that it is ludicrous of the Chief Constable to cry on the shoulders of a Guardian journalist about not having enough police manpower when for years he has allowed hundreds of hours of police time to be wasted hounding an innocent man, who in all his trials it transpired that his only “crime” was to go to Stockport Council to ask the highly paid panjandrums for counselling for his troubled daughters adopted from Stockport Council.

Khan, the Council Solicitor, and the man who could have sorted this problem out years ago, has now said I can act on Mr. Parnell’s behalf. If the Council tries its usual tactic of delay and losing documents, that will be exposed in the public domain. Otherwise we might obviate the need for police intervention. I tried to act on his behalf before but Clare Naven refused to accept his letter of authority and refused to say why.

Stunell, his lazy local MP, could have acted too but he couldn’t be bothered or wanted to cover up for his corrupt colleagues at Stockport.

I am not making a complaint about Mr Fahey, but I do question his suitability for the job.

Subject: FW: Further disgusting waste of police time by LibDem Stockport Council – will charges of wasting police time be brought against the Council?

Dear Ms Oliver

I refer to your email sent to the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police on the 15 January 2011 that you have copied Councillor

Paul Murphy of Manchester City Council into. Councillor Murphy is the Chairman of Greater Manchester Police Authority.

I note that you are suggesting that Stockport Council has wasted police time in having police action taken against Mr Michael Parnell and that

the Chief Constable has taken no action against the Council.

I shall be grateful if you will clarify whether you are seeking to make a formal complaint against the Chief Constable of the Greater Manchester

Police or indeed any other officers of Greater Manchester Police, either in your own right or on behalf of Mr Parnell.

If you are seeking to make a formal Police complaint on behalf of Mr Parnell, you will need to obtain his written authority for you to act on his

behalf in making a complaint and in this connection, I attach a third party authority form that you will need to ask him to sign and once he has

done this, I shall be grateful if you will return the signed authority to myself at the Police Authority.

If you are seeking to make a formal police complaint, it would be of considerable assistance if you could provide me with as full details as you

possibly can of the actions on the part of officers of Greater Manchester Police that have been taken against Mr Parnell that you are seeking to

complain about together with dates of the incidents in question, if at all possible.

If you are making a Chief Officer complaint, responsibility for dealing with the complaint will remain with Greater Manchester Police Authority

under the provisions of the Police Reform Act 2002. However, responsibility for investigating complaints against officers of the rank of

Chief Superintendent and below rests with Greater Manchester Police and, in that event, I will refer the matter on to the Complaints Manager of the Force Professional Standards Branch for him to deal with further.

I look forward to hearing from you further.

Yours sincerely

Subject: Further disgusting waste of police time by LibDem Stockport Council – will charges of wasting police time be brought against the Council?

Dear Chief Constable

I have told you many times of the waste of police time by Stockport Council regarding Mr Parnell and you did nothing. I shall cc this to Michael White of the Guardian and several MPs who have concerns about the LibDems and their actions.

Mr Parnell emailed me this today – you will see he is a simple man who needs help:-

“Tue 4th January 2011 this was the first day the Fred Perry House was opened to the public, i walked passed and the council phoned the police and they were searching for me,
the next day i stopped outside to talk to someone who told me about the day before then within 5 minutes the police came and arrested me 2 oclock three police vehicals they took me to cheadle heath police station held me until 23:45 hrs released no charge but on police bail to go back 19th jan, on tue 11th went into fred perry house to contact welfare rights office and was again after only 5 minutes being there arrested at 1 oclock released 19:30hrs police taking no further action when will the council stop victimising me with their disability,they say in this their film this building is to be accessable to all people,…”
I have sat through most of his trials – he didn’t commit the assault with a sneeze alleged against him by Stockport Council by guards who admitted in court they had threatened to kill him and said when the Croation supports came to Piccadilly they would kick their f*cking heads in and pretend they were kicking him. This is all in the trial transcripts. Then we had the £10,000 per day 3 day trial where he was accused of nothing more than going to Stopford House (Stopford House, you may know was the location for the corrupt 1970s police station in Life on Mars – yes, quite!)
I don’t know whether there is any Masonic issue here with the Council, the Police and Stockport CPS – I don’t know what else would explain the lunacy in persecuting this man. The Coroner has criticised Stockport Council for repeatedly driving vulnerable people to suicide and in the Serious Case Reviews of those tragedies Stockport Council said it would help people who came to them asking for help with vulnerable children. Barry Khan, Council Solicitor, Councillor Weldon, Councillor Derbyshire, Councillor Goddard, Eamonn Boylan and Andrew Webb are all paid huge sums of money to sort out problems like Mr. Parnell’s. Imprisoning him is not a solution. They need to get off their backsides and do their jobs and stop wasting police and court time and hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money.

The LibDems pretend they are concerned about human rights and control orders. They are, as everyone is finding out, liars.

I would like some sort of response from you.

Yours without much expectation of any sensible response.

Sheila
