Professional identity and role in the record
The 2 June 2026 email identifies Ian McIver as Community Safety & Public Health Lead Officer. He is the named authorising officer on the 29 May CPN and appears on the August 2024 warning. His Council correspondence gives Riverbank House, Bideford. The role is identified at the dates of those documents.
Answer the evidence and the decision.
Miss E and Mr J challenge a process they say did not obtain their evidence before issuing restrictions. Their allegation of collusion is put against the dated correspondence and the assessment of competing accounts not supplied in the reviewed record. The questions below identify this recipient’s responsibility and the records needed to examine it.
The direct questions
Prepared 23 September 2026; not yet sent by this publication. Historical requests and official replies are set out in the linked reporting.
CPN-01
What did Miss E personally do?
To: Ian McIver · Torridge District Council
Identify each act attributed to Miss E, its date and the evidence connecting her personally to it. Where is the finding separating her conduct from Mr J’s or anyone else’s? Being the resident or owner is not an explanation of what she did.
CPN-02
Where is the invitation to give their evidence?
To: Bradley Ithildîn · Ian McIver · Devon and Cornwall Police · Torridge District Council
Miss E and Mr J say neither was asked to give evidence about the incidents for this notice-making process before the notices arrived. Produce any dated invitation, interview, account obtained and assessment of their response. If none was sought, explain how their account was tested before action was taken.

CPN-03
Independent assessment—or a process shaped around Mayo’s case?
To: Bradley Ithildîn · Ian McIver · Devon and Cornwall Police · Torridge District Council
Answer Miss E and Mr J’s allegation of collusion. In the 31 July and 2 August emails, the ASB route is discussed alongside Mayo’s injunction and his statement and exhibits are sent as the evidence. What independent checks tested that material, what contrary evidence was considered, and where is the record showing that the decision was not simply driven by one litigant’s account?
CPN-05
Why five years? Where is the proportionate decision?
To: Ian McIver · Torridge District Council
Produce the recorded reasons for a five-year notice and each restriction imposed. What current conduct, recurrence risk, individual circumstances and alternatives were assessed? What did the decision-maker do with Miss E’s account that she sought protection rather than obstructed legitimate access?
CPN-10
Show the footage behind the decision.
To: Ian McIver · Torridge District Council
Identify and disclose the complete recording and audio relied on for the 29 May 2026 notice, with its provenance, date and any relevant surrounding sequence. Where does it show Miss E’s alleged conduct, who viewed it, and what opportunity was she given to answer it?
