Dear Mr
Braithwaite,
Thank you for your request
for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), asking for "Kent
County Council's impact statement for KCC's Kent on Canvas".
I have been advised by Kent
Libraries & Archives that there is one document held that relates to your
request, which outlines a strategy for the generation of income from Kent's
cultural assets, including Kent on Canvas.
Kent Libraries &
Archives have stated that this information is currently commercially sensitive,
as disclosure would risk exposing marketing strategy to potential
competitors. Accordingly I must advise you that this information is
currently withheld under Section 43 FOIA.
Before deciding to withhold
information under S.43 FOIA, KCC must consider where the public interest lies.
In this particular case it is felt that, at this point in time, the greater
public interest lies in safeguarding the potential for income generation by KCC
from this project, which can only be beneficial to the community in terms
of supporting the services provided by KCC.
Yours sincerely,
