Is the CEO of Ealing Council Tony Clements DEAD or something?

Everything sent to him at Ealing Council gets an autoreply requiring one to register for an online complaints process and use that EVEN IF WHAT YOU ARE WRITING IS NOT A COMPLAINT!****What I am Sending****FAO:Tony ClementsThe Chief ExecutiveLondon Borough of EalingPerceval House14/16 Uxbridge RoadLondonW5 2HLTel: 020 8825 5000E-mail - chiefexecutive@ealing.gov.uk and tony.clements@ealing.gov.ukTuesday 28th May 2024,Dear Mr Clements,This is not complaint, I am seeking guidance on the right channels to use to submit information about incidents in the London Borough of Ealing. I have encountered a number of changes in the ways that issues reported to Ealing Council. I now find myself unable to use LoveCleanStreets to report out-of-hours building work and there is no Health and Safety option on LoveCleanStreets.Likewise, the parking violations reporting process has changed and the telephone for that no longer functions,The Report It information page has lost a number of options and I cannot find headers or locations to either on-line forms or to named people or departments with their phone numbers and e-mail addresses where I have a complaint to make about issues or incidents in the London Borough of Ealing in the areas of Planning, Building - safety among other things, and Health and Safety. For that matter I cannot find any references to a department, body, or person that is 'point person' for health and safety issues falling with Ealing's purview.I would be grateful if your Office could please provide me with appropriate links in 'Report It', LoveCleanStreets, and through the use of e-mail for the following issues:1) Abuse of Stop and Shop Bays for all-day parking including the delivery of goods,2) Planning Violations,3) Building Control and Standards Issues including working hours transgression and quality of work,4) More complicated Health and Safety Issues.I would be grateful for your Office's help in this matter.I remain,Yours sincerely,Mark,Ealing, London, W5 4SHP.s. I attach a PDF of what Ealing's website has as available options on its Report It information and redirection page.****What I am Getting****Re: Mr Clements, you Office's help please in navigating channels in the Council to report important issuesMarkChiefExecutiveTue 28/05/2024 10:09Dear Mr Clements,THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT!
