[LUG] Yet again Torbay Council show their true beurocratic colours

 

For those that still think that public sector tries to help people .....

Hi Tom,

Sorry for the delay in replying to you.

I have checked this with the council's Health and Safety prime. Torbay
Council does require charger units to have been PAT tested and would
expect chargers and plug units to have a test stamp/ certificate.

Apparently the cost of inspection is a pound or two upwards depending on
the electrician/ company used.

The only alternative that I can see, if you are only bringing laptop and
netbook equipment, is that you ensure it is fully charged so that you do
not need to plug in at all.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Regards,
Debby

 need I say more.

When I have calmed down and had time to think about it, i will word a
very carefully crafted reply and CC to Adrian Sanders. At the moment the
words frustration and anger just don't cover what I am feeling.

I'm pulling the plug on the 6th November meeting and will not be gracing
Paignton Library with my presence until these draconian dimwits stop
their bureaucratic nonsense.

Tom.
