Dear Owen Gwawr (CG), This response is unacceptable Since you are using the facsimile of a Clerk to the Justices signature then GCC must know who this is. Please now answer the question without further delay.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Creathorne

Dear Mr Creathorne,
The Information is signed by the Council's Monitoring Officer, being the Proper Officer, in order to authorise the commencement of proceeding. The Summons and Information is thereafter passed to the Clerk to the Justices for approval. The Clerk to the Justices do not sign the Summons and no facsimile of the Clerk's signature is used by the Council. Under previous arrangements the Council would forward the Information and Summons to the Clerk to the Justices who would sign and return the summons to the Council. The new arrangement have been in place for the past 12 months.
As the Council adhere' s to the Courts requirements, if you have any questions as to this please refer enquiries to Magistrates Court Service, Llandudno
Many Thanks

Courts have no records of individual summons or liability orders. Neither is now produced by the courts, but by the council. Nobody is taking responsibility for the court’s part in the process. We are left with only the council’s assurance that the court has, in some vague way, been involved. This is unacceptable and cannot be regarded as a legitimate court process.

Dear Owen Gwawr (CG), You have not answered the question. The summonses that are issued by the council ( they are printed and sent from council office) clearly show a facsimile signature of what is purported to be the Clerk to the Justices. Who is this person , how long has this person held the position and what is the individuals contact address. As the council are using this information on their own summonses it is ludicrous to suggest that you know nothing of it.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Creathorne

Dear Mr Creathorne,
As previously advised, under current arrangements the Council do not use a facsimile of the Clerk to the Justices' signature.
So as to assist us in answering your request, please provide a specimen copy of a summons from this Council which you maintain contains a facsimile signature of the Clerk to the Justices.
Many Thanks
