| Residents' fight for justice is being being thwarted by Hounslow Council and the lethargy of the Steering Committee Chair as emails to the Interim Chief Executive and the Steering Committee remain unanswered and important information is not forthcoming. -----Original Message----- From: stevetaylor Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 08:44:20 EST Subject: URGENT - Mogden Group Litigation To: michael.frater@hounslow.gov.uk, jane.scott@hounslow.gov.uk CC: richard.gruet@hounslow.gov.uk, Dear Mr Frater Residents are becoming increasingly concerned at the length of time it is taking Environmental Services Dept to deal with this relatively simple but extremely urgent and important matter. Residents have made it clear that there are issues they want to be made known to the High Court of Justice before Mr Justice Ramsey hands down his judgement. The MRAG Committee requested information from the Steering Committee Chair more than a week ago but no information has been forthcoming despite a reminder. Residents' solicitors therefore requested the information from Mr McCarthy directly. Whilst it is regrettable to note Mr McCarthy is now away from office on urgent family business I am surprised by his response to solicitors simply stating "I do not have a copy of the draft report and am therefore unable to help with this request" Whilst I would have thought the office of the Head of Pollution Control should have been provided with copies some weeks ago, if not demanded a copies prior to the public meeting of 3 November, I am extremely concerned that no effort appears to have been made to obtain and provide the requested documentation. I urge you to intervene before it is too late and instruct those concerned to let us have the requested documents by return. Yours sincerely Steve Taylor -----Original Message----- From: stevetaylor Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2010 12:48:29 EST Subject: RE: Mogden GLO To: Cathy.Gallagher Dear Cathy In Gerry's absence could you please forward as a matter of urgency the following documents, relating to the Independent Odour Research Project, to residents' solicitor Neil Stockdale with copy to MRAG. Reports on findings of independent consultant as presented to Steering Committee on 7th and 25th October. Final report of ENTEC that underlies the 3 November public presentation of findings. Draft copy of minutes of the public meeting of 3 November. MRAG has already requested these documents from the steering Committee Chair but it would appear he does not appreciate the urgency of the situation. Many thanks & kind regards Steve Taylor |
