Further Questions as National Parking Adjudicator (NPAS) Crisis Deepens

For the attention of:

Andrew Barfoot
Tribunal Manager

Dear Mr. Barfoot,

Further to our telephone call of 10.15am Monday 12th September 2005 I would like clarification of the legal status of NPAS.

You advise that NPAS is a tribunal and not a court of law.

I have attached a link here to a video clip from the NPAS website.
It begins, "My name is Sian Cole and I am an adjudicator."
Ms Cole then proceeds to make a statement,
" This is in fact a Court of Law."

1. Can you please confirm, as a matter of urgency, that the statement on your website misrepresents NPAS' legal status and will be removed immediately?

2. Can you advise as to how many hits the NPAS website has had since its creation and if there is a record of the number of times the misleading video clip has been accessed? Can you also detail how you intend to clarify the NPAS position for those who have been misled

3. Can you clarify the precise legal status of NPAS?

4. Can you please define NPAS' definition of 'independent?' I was advised by your enquiry handler that NPAS is completely independent of both parties involved in arbitration.

5. Can you please confirm how NPAS is funded and advise as to where this is clearly displayed on the NPAS website?

6. Can you please advise where to access NPAS accounts and financial records and a breakdown of contributions to NPAS by Local Authority member?

Yours sincerely,
