Email Warning from NCH about public events

Date: Friday, 1 August, 2008, 9:42 AM




Dear Ruth,


I think you may have received an e mail recently from Andrew McHardy indicating that NCH is considering extending your licence of occupation by a further six months to March 2009.

However, before NCH does this there are range of issues which we need to discuss. I have had recent conversations with Clare Tickell our Chief Executive and she is concerned about several issues on which we need to reach clear agreement before NCH is prepared to grant you an extension, and Clare has asked me to meet you as soon as possible.

Among other things I believe you may be planning to hold "open days" or some form of public meeting on the NCH site. Firstly, you did not raise this with NCH as your landlord & did not seek permission to do this. But also from a recent inspection I am very concerned about condition of the site and among other things concerned about liability for personal safety on NCH property. In the current circumstances I must ask you not to hold any such meetings on the NCH site. This is with the personal authority of Clare Tickell.
