I can't say if it was the old Co-op store, being a mere whipper snapper, but before it's current furniture store usage it was a plumbers merchants.

My letters went unacknowledged, and were ignored.

Nothing shook them up until Greg got on their case.

I even said in the letters I'd go to the press and warn other people about the fines. A fine it was impossible to even pay because it was taken off me, and I didn't know how much it originally was, or where to pay it.

I would have put on my best poor victim grimace in the paper, if Greg Pope hadn't sorted it for me.

It spoilt my birthday, I got it a right old state.

Today made up for it.

Re: Thank you Greg Pope.

seems a bit of a sad state of affairs where it was necessary to have to get the local MP involved , would have thought with all the stuff I read about devolving more power to the regions a "local ombudsman" should have been available thru either the local Borough or County Council to sort this "trivial" stuff out ( not trivial to you , but in the greater scheme of things) .


Hopefully one of the local councillors (the elected folks who are supposed to represent your local interests) who regulary reply Accy-web threads will reply to this thread and offer an easy local solution to you and other Accy web users who find themselves in a similar predicament without the need to having to go to Westminster .

Its surprising what a letter with the old green portcullis on the top does to concentrate the mind of these sharks

When I lived in Glasgow I requested the help of my M.P. on a civil liberties question of law, and again was very happy with the help and influence I recieved as part of the democratic process we have in place in this country.

Perhaps I'm just better at getting the right help I need, or am a little more realistic about what can be achieved by one M.P.

It was about an organisation that you can complain to about the council the Local Government Ombudsman, who is supposed to stand up for justice against the councils of this land but all I got is a whitewash!

LGO Watch - watching the Local Government Ombudsman's office

I'm not saying I didn't get help I did get help, but when it comes to the big issues your MP can't do that much. They are good at the small things, as you have experienced and myself experinced.

Note in the "Alan Clark Diaries" currently being shown on channel Yesterday he refers to fellow politicains as "Sharks waiting for the smell of blood!" In other words how these people get to be the party candidate for a constituency is by back stabbing and so on.
