They had to start the work withing 3 years anyway.

A full survey, with Lancs County Council holding all the cards, you must be joking, they are the ones that kept doing the bodge up jobs, do you think they would open all their files.

One of my tasks as the Fire Brigade Union Rep was health and safety, I made a 3 monthly report to the station commander, who in turn passed it to division & then to H.Q., every so often the county inspector would turn up, have a look, see the station commander and then disappear.

I ony wish I'd kept a copy of my reports. The workmen wer'nt bothered when I laughed, they will do there job get paid and move to the next job,
what happens after they could'nt care less.
