Here is a copy of a letter I sent in response to the SAFETY TESTS FOR 2003 letter from Rockley.
Dear Linda,
In reply to your letter SAFETY TESTS FOR 2003 may I point out that, as I previously informed you, I have my gas safety checks done for my own benefit along with my annual service (done by my boiler manufacturer) which is not due again until July 2003. My van is not 3 years old yet so we will take up the matter of the periodic electric test when it is.
When you show me the details of the legal requirement (not a park rule, which is just a charter for manufacturing moneymaking schemes for Bourne Leisure.) to have these “OBLIGATORY “ tests done I will gladly supply you with certificates. Is it just co-incidence that tests are due the day the park opens or to intimidate people to pay before they come on the park?
As to your statement that you will carry out the tests without my authority and invoice me then I will take this invoice as evidence that you entered MY PROPERTY without my permission and will take such evidence along with a copy of this letter denying you access to my property to the local constabulary with a view to press charges against the company for illegal entry. Let me repeat, I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR ANYONE TO ENTER MY PREMISES TO DO WORK NOT AUTHORISED BY MY WIFE OR MYSELF.
I think it is about time that the staff at Rockley were officially informed by senior management that these mobile homes are the property of the owners.
Sincerely yours,
David McLeod
