Dear Mr Gale,
Your recent email to Cllr. Abraham has been forwarded to me for response.
First may I thank you for taking the trouble to bring this matter to the attention of the City Council. The whole issue of cycling on footpaths all around the City is something of a concern and one that is proving difficult to resolve. However I am aware that the particular area you highlighted is a cycling 'hot spot' and others have brought the problem to my attention. As to what can be done about it; the Downs Committee who are responsible for the day to day management of the Downs have recognised that all aspects of traffic activities around the Downs including cycling is a problem that is likely to get worse. To that end the Committee has set up a working group to seek solutions and suggest improvements to traffic management. I will of course ensure that your concerns are brought to their attention. Should you wish to bring the matter more formally to the attention of the Committee there is a Public Forum procedure

My God, you’ve met some bad agencies haven’t you. Let’s take this from my
point of view:-
As a recruitment agent, your job exists solely because you have made it so.
You and your recruiter colleagues flood job notice boards with job adverts
so that finding an employee
is impossible for potential employers and they have to use your services
Hi Andrew,
One of our support team changed, and then revert the root password on
your machine "hellofuture.dh" here at Bytemark.
Another customer had requested their root password resetting, so we
logged on over the serial console to their machine. We found a root
prompt open so the password was changed. Shortly after this we realised
that we'd changed the password on the wrong machine (yours) and restored
the original password from the backup of /etc/shadow found in

Hi Andy,
We are fine to not do any further work on this for you, however our 20 years experience within the recruitment industry and the law surrounding it. would advise you not to proceed with Rhys if you do not want to be held liable for the terms as the interviewing and subsequent engagement of a candidate is deemed acceptance of our terms. Alternatively, if you do wish to meet him (and I do think he would be strong), I am fine to look at the fee rates with you if that is you objection and see if we can put something more favorable in place for you. Entirely up to you.
Regards

Stephen,
I'm writing with reference to the Data Retention and Investigation
Powers Bill that your government are rushing through parliament. I
appreciate this bill is not the controversial "Snoopers Charter" but I
really must object to any bill which impinges on my civil liberties
and privacy being sneaked through parliament before the summer break.
It's vital that legislation in such key areas are properly debated. I
do not accept the argument the bill will only restore existing powers.
