Mr Parnell’s reasoned letter to Devon Sherwood, Stockport Council’s Don’t Bring Your Complaints to Me Officer on 16th April 2008. No help was ever forthcoming – just hundreds of custodies, dozens of arrests, court cases hanging over him all the time and especially over Christmas, often dropped on the day of the hearing, 2 years 8am to 8pm house arrest, refused access to the town centre, repeated imprisonment, hounding whilst terminally ill in Intensive Care over £24 in council tax arrears he didn’t owe – and vile LibDem council had him classed as a vulnerable council taxpayer, as they had driven him to attempt suicide in a police cell. If that is how the evil LibDems treat a vulnerable council taxpayer, then Heaven help those of us who are more robust!

1. I put it to Stockport Metropolitan
Borough Council that I submit a complaint that this Council has not acted with
due care and attention over its duties as a Local Authority. This complaint is
now to the facts, and is addressed that this local authority SMBC is
responsible and should have acted as to its statutory duty to the Laws, Acts
and Regulations under Government Guidance and funding that had been received by
SMBC.

2. I put it to Stockport Metropolitan
Borough Council that I submit a complaint that this Council has not followed
its own complaints procedure, in not following its own guidelines SMBC has not
informed me of the process of procedures, not following its own procedure, has
led to your misunderstanding of what the complaints were, and under which
procedure they should have been investigated, I put it, none of your past
correspondents have you ever stated how my complaints should be treated or
whether it should be treated differently under social services or education
special arrangement.

3. I put it to Stockport
Metropolitan Borough Council that I submit a complaint that this Council has not
investigated all of my past complaints, I put it to SMBC that in not fully
investigating SMBC has not understood to see what the complaints are about, and
with that misunderstanding SMBC have not determined how my complaints should
have be dealt with and under which procedure.

4. I put it to Stockport Metropolitan
Borough Council that I submit a complaint that this Council has intended to
close my complaint even though SMBC has not fully investigated or followed the
complaint procedure to its end, when dealing with complaints that have been
submitted, and then have not been investigated, how can the complaints be
closed, in your letter dated 10/04/08 you state the three complaints that you
were looking at had now had a
comprehensive response, how can this be the case when the complaints that was
submitted were changed by yourselves to be different complaints yet the
complaint you state as number 1) request for help for your family, has not yet
been resolved, and as what has been disclosed to you the safety and protection
of looked after children who are in need, how can you say that your
interpretation of this complaint can it have any other resolve than help being
given.

5. I put it to Stockport Metropolitan
Borough Council that I submit a complaint that under this Council failings to
recognise the principle of the needs of looked after children, who are taken
into care under a section 31, will always carry the need to have that principle
applied to their needs, and that principle of their needs does not stop when
their care is transferred to different Legal responsibility, the individual
situations of my two children who were looked after by a Local Authority, are
still in principle looked after children as they have been placed to their
needs with the approved and appointed, which was on behalf of the Local
Authority, and looked after children require the looked after principle to be
applied as to their needs for their wellbeing.

6. I put it to Stockport Metropolitan
Borough Council that I submit a complaint that under the Council’s statutory
duty and Government guidance, has not provided appropriate social care for two
children that were looked after, and are living within the borough of
Stockport, by who have not ever appointed them a permanent social worker, has
meant that these two children are not being addressed as children in need by
Services within Stockport, those services, being Social Services, Health
Services, Education and Police, for which Stockport Metropolitan Borough
Council has a duty as the Local Authority to be responsible for all of these
services to be provided.

7. I put it to Stockport Metropolitan
Borough Council that I submit a complaint that this Council in failing in its
duty under government guidance has caused other services to fail, SMBC has set
a lead and the other services that is provided under the control of this Local
Authority has just followed. my two children have not received the appropriate
care from Health services and were failed to be provided with all of their
Statutory Secondary Education to their needs.

8. I put it to Stockport Metropolitan
Borough Council that I submit a complaint that this Council has failed to act
to the request for statutory assessments to see what are this families Health
and adoption needs, not providing services to a care plan for my two children to safeguard and promote their
welfare, including their health and
Educational needs, in relation to their Health and Education the inappropriate
and withheld services have been suffered, my children are here living in
Stockport, yet The Local Authority in its failings is taking away there very
existence, Legal problems have meant my children could not be counted as part
of my household and the Local authority has failed to help with proceedings
which it started and has not followed through, children that don’t exist find it
hard to get the help what they require to their needs. Assessments to adoption
needs please read the following guidance
