Dear Mr
Braithwaite,
Thank you for your request
for information under the Freedom of Information Act (the Act), asking for
"documents/information relating to the post of Commercial Manager Libraries and
Archives and Kent on Canvas".
I have been advised by Kent
Libraries & Archives that this post is currently on a temporary basis, as
Kent on Canvas is a trial/pilot project. Accordingly, there is information held
regarding the terms and conditions of the post that constitutes personal data as
it reflects the personal circumstances of the current post holder. This
information is withheld under Section 40 of the Act.
Libraries & Archives
also hold a briefing note to the Communities Directorate Senior Management Team
regarding income generation, which includes details of the
feasibility/developmental work intended for this post as part of the pilot, and
an email to the current post holder which covers the same ground. However, Kent Libraries & Archives have stated that
this information is currently commercially sensitive, as disclosure would risk
exposing marketing and future growth strategy to potential competitors.
Accordingly I must advise you that this information is currently withheld under
Section 43 of the Act, and that it is deemed that the greater public interest
lies in safeguarding the potential for income generation which will benefit the
community by supporting the services provided by KCC.
Yours sincerely,
