Day 074 - 16 Jan 95 - Page 54
1 night and when we investigated it was in -- may I have a
2 look at the map, please?
3
4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just stick to environment/index.html">litter.
5
6 MR. MORRIS: Yes. What I am saying is, if you can cast your
7 mind back, you have said something like you got three or
8 four complaints a year when you were there as manager?
9 A. Correct.
10
11 Q. That was about environment/index.html">litter?
12 A. Yes.
13
14 Q. Were there dozens of other complaints you got from people
15 about other subjects, whatever the subjects were, or was it
16 just two or three?
17 A. No, there were other concerns.
18
19 Q. So if you wanted to hazard a guess at approximately how
20 many complaints you got per year, if there were three or
21 four for environment/index.html">litter, how many were there for other matters?
22 A. Other matters 10, eight or 10, something like that.
23
24 Q. So a fair figure would be about a dozen a year altogether
25 complaints on average?
26 A. Yes, but I must clarify there were some
27 misunderstandings.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do not worry about that. Take it step by
30 step.
31
32 MR. MORRIS: If we go back to page 751, at the top of the page
33 it says that the Council presumably have received 33
34 complaints in the past 12 months. Does that surprise you?
35 A. It does.
36
37 Q. So some people seem to be taking their -- or was that
38 something you were aware of, that people were complaining
39 to other bodies as well as complaining direct to the
40 restaurant?
41 A. Yes, I was aware.
42
43 Q. You were aware?
44 A. But not of all of the complaints because I do not
45 remember the EHO, the name of the gentleman who sometimes
46 used to come in just to make sure that everything was
47 satisfactory.
48
49 Q. I will move on to page 755. I am sorry if we are dodging
50 about on dates, but I cannot work out any other system of
51 doing this effectively. This is a letter from the
52 Wellington Square Residents Association?
53 A. Yes, sir.
54
55 Q. Do you happen to know what that name is at the bottom, just
56 out of interest?
57 A. "Yours Sincerely", there is nothing here.
58
59 Q. It says, "Yours Sincerely" and then it has a name I cannot
60 read, N. Mill or Mull. I do not know. It does not matter.
