Who at National Grid will take responsibility for the answers?

Proposed · not yet sent

The question · editorial wording

Is this handling of a wayleave-holder’s verification requests consistent with National Grid’s standards? Identify who took responsibility after the February and March 2025 requests, the referral and the April 2026 office visits. Who checked the disputed emails and agreement records, what did they conclude, and where is the written outcome? Will a senior officer review BH68-03, BH68-05 and BH68-06, explain any unresolved delay and give a date for a document-supported response?

Why this matters Corporate responsibility

Responsibility should remain traceable when a wayleave-holder’s concern passes between departments and external solicitors. Integrity requires a checkable outcome: who investigated, which records they examined and what answer the company stands behind.

Sending of a new request by this publication
Not recorded; this is the draft reporting register.

Prepared for executive review on 12 September 2026. The underlying family requests, referral and later solicitor correspondence are documented. The office findings are reported by the family; the solicitor correspondence also refers to the visits. This new executive question has not been sent. No executive recipient’s receipt, response or deadline is recorded.

What the record answers

Angela Caddy’s 10 March 2025 message refers the enquiry to Nigel Merrifield. Mark Hacking later states that previous requests had been dealt with, asks for further particulars and promises a substantive response concerning Shackson correspondence. Those replies do not supply the authentication finding or agreement comparison requested here. No executive response to this new question has been sought.

The point still requiring clarification

Identify a responsible senior officer, the checks performed, their written outcome and the route to completing any unresolved work. Mr J reports that the substantive verification answers remain outstanding; this register does not mark the new executive question as overdue.
