Dear Drazen Jaksic

Insurers of Stockport Council

I have written to you before about Padden Brook.  This unstable land holding 26 houses.  The land is protected amenity land/Local Wildlife site which has been allowed to be destroyed by the local councillors, MP, Chief Executive, Head of Planning and Monitoring Officer.

I suspect planning corruption.  I always do at Stockport Council, as such a lot of it has gone on in the past. Mr Peter Pollard, Planning Officer, has for some unfathomable reason allowed the new landowner to cut down most of the vegetation and is going now to allow him to cut down the very protected trees which are holding up the land which supports the housing above. Remember that name, Peter Pollard, when the huge insurance claims roll in.  Is he even insurable as a council employee?

Kind regards

Sheila Oliver

How it was before.



Ecological Survey Required

Dear Monitoring Officer

On seeking advice from environmentalists all over the country I have been told that an ecological survey should have been carried out and if necessary damage mitigation measures put in place.  I am also informed the local councillors should act and assess what has been done to the land.  I know you have recently claimed I am vexatious for mentioning the damage to this Local Wildlife Site/protected amenity land, so if you refuse I shall have to go back to them all publicly and explain the situation.

The legal position – Planning application implications:

  • Councils can refuse permission or require retrospective ecological surveys and mitigation.
  • They may impose conditions or request biodiversity offsetting or habitat restoration.

Please could you arrange the ecological survey and the local councillor reports.

Yours

Sheila

Dear Ms Curle

Where will the open space be, given you have just allowed our Local Wildlife Site/protected amenity land to be destroyed?

On Twitter people are saying I should go to the police about Padden Brook.   I shall if housing goes on the site.

Yours with all the respect due to you.

Dear Mrs Oliver,

Many thanks for your email.  Members of Planning and Highways Regulation Committee resolved to defer and delegate the grant of planning permission on 15th August 2024, subject to the applicant entering into a S106 legal agreement to secure contributions towards Open Space in accordance with adopted development plan policies.  Once the process of the legal agreement is complete, planning permission will be formally issued.

I trust this clarifies the matter.

Kind regards

This Local Wildlife Site/protected amenity land at Padden Brook has not been improved or tidied up as claimed by senior council panjandrums/stupid, lazy, useless LibDem Councillors at Stockport.

The various culprits – Vicki Bates, Monitoring Officer, Emma Curle, Head of Planning, Michael Cullen, Chief Executive, Councillor Angela Clark, Councillor Rachel Bresnahan, Councillors Mark Roberts, Leader of the Council, Peter Pollard, planning officer. Last but not least pointless LibDem MP Lisa Smart, who astonishingly is spending her time sorting out Ukraine but has done diddly squat about Padden Brook.

They have decreed me again vexatious for mentioning this, I am not allowed to ask any Freedom of Information questions or council meeting questions, because that is how the LibDem run council covers up their corruption.

It is rumoured that migrant flats are to be built on the site. As the above people lie and obfuscate, it is impossible to check the validity of that rumour.

How this Local Wildlife Site/protected amenity land, untouched since the 1960s used to look.



Why would the bent LibDem Stockport Council destroy yet more trees on Padden Brook?

Haven’t the lazy, useless, lying LibDems already done enough damage to this Local Wildlife Site/protected amenity land without cutting down yet more trees? Yet more planning corruption at LibDem run Stockport Council with the full connivance of the Monitoring Officer, Vicki Bates, the Chief Executive, Michael Cullen and the Head of Planning, Emma Curle.

They lie and say the site is being improved/tidied up.

This was how the land was, untouched since the 1960s, home to bats, owls, dormice and other protected creatures.



The insurers of the LibDems and ICO should pay these potentially huge costs.

Dear Drazen Jaksic

Insurers of Stockport Council

Please listen to what I am saying.  Many years ago Stockport Council, ruled almost entirely by the LibDems, put a new primary school on a still gassing toxic waste dump – a former Jackson’s Brickyard – which you may know had appalling contamination histories.  The council refused three planning applications in the 1970s because the site was too toxic to build on.  It was decided to put a new primary school on that site, although there was another, more popular, safer site available with room for expansion.  The LibDem councillors chose to sell that off for housing and use the toxic site instead, which they tried to pretend was clean.  There was more planning corruption/fraud involved than you could shake a stick at, which is all clearly documented here:-

https://www.sheilaoliver.org/toxic-waste-dump-school-.html

When I started exposing their planning corruption they had to shut me up, so they told the Information Commissioner that I was vexatious.  I had to try for years to get them to remove the contamination, which they did after a fashion, but the brown asbestos fibres were left on the site.  There are reference points on the video proving this is that site:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0rCPnP5H9o

The school opened in 2011.  Mesothelioma cases, as I understand it, usually take 25 years to develop.  Apart from the school children, the area is very built up.  The brown asbestos fibres they disturbed will have travelled.  When I pointed out migrant labour was removing lethal brown asbestos fibres using a bin bag and stick and that they didn’t understand their task as they took their own respirators off, I was told I was vexatious.  I have the documentary evidence.

When I gave evidence to the Information Commissioner subsequently that I had been correct in every respect, they refused to remove the vexatious branding.

So, I assume you may face potentially huge mesothelioma claims in the future.  I think the insurers of the LibDems and the Information Commissioner will have to pay towards any settlements.  I couldn’t go to the police about the corruption because of the close connection between Greater Manchester Police and Stockport Council, which is shown in the second case of corruption, which might also leave you with huge damages claims.

This paedophile –

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/former-stockport-councillor-facing-10-10723666

Lord Goddard and the Stockport LibDem councillors repeatedly/maliciously imprisoned this sick, innocent, fiercely protective father of 2 lovely young girls until he died aged 58.  The same people as were involved with the toxic waste dump primary school.  Two of them, Wendy Meikle and Shan Alexander are still Executive Councillors even today.  What on earth may they be currently up to?  Mr Parnell’s and his family’s life were destroyed, all because he tried to protect his adopted daughters from the above paedophile.  I begged every LibDem Lord, MP, senior official every day to stop what was being done to him.  I said they were kicking him into his grave, which they were.  Not a single response was received from anyone.

My suggestions going forward? Have some sort of contact point for people undergoing these abuses which might leave local authority insurers with huge claims in the future.  Nip the abuses in the bud when they start.  It wouldn’t cost much to set up or run, and the potential savings for your industry could be huge.

There is, of course, the case of Mrs Luba Macpherson and Sunderland Council.  No-one did their job.  No-one listened to a concerned mother worried about her daughter.  How much might that claim cost your industry?

I shall cc this to the rogues at Stockport Council.  If they wish to dispute matters they can, but I have a very large amount of documentary evidence

I hope you listen; I really do

Yours sincerely
