Freedom of Information Request P0005355

Dear Julie Shrive,

I am writing regarding your request for information, which I received on 28^th May 2009. In that request, you asked us for:

“Is it legal for a skip lorry to block the road so one can't turn round? My disabled Kangoo van/car carrying disabled scooter has had its rear windscreen wiper knocked off by a lampost painted black [camouflaged] because road so narrow. Why do police not want to know say civil and firm Brewers couldn't care less I shouldn't have to suffer their illegal? practice nor be out of pocket as a result.”

I will be unable to proceed with your request without clarification of the information you wish to receive. Can you please confirm exactly what information you are requesting from us as a Central Government Department under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I must advise that we are unlikely to hold information on the legality of a skip lorry blocking a local road.

Please note that if I do not receive appropriate clarification of your information requirements within three months from the date of this letter, then I will consider your request closed.

If you wish to discuss any of the above, please contact me. Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.

Yours sincerely,

Ivan Pocock
