Dear Ms Anderson

Request for Information (Reference 11/FOI/3552)

I am writing in response to your request for information received on 28
June 2011 concerning the "Big Community Offer" business case criteria.

Under section 21 of the Act, we are not required to provide information in
response to a request if it is already reasonably accessible to you. The
criteria on which the business cases are being assessed is available on
Gloucestershire County Council's website at:
[1]http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/index..... At the
foot of this page is the Business Case template which groups were asked to
complete, along with accompanying guidance, which effectively form the
criteria.

This email therefore acts as a refusal notice under section 17 of the FoIA
as all of the information you have requested is exempt from disclosure.

If you feel that we have failed to comply with the FoIA in relation to
this request, you may make a complaint or request an internal review by
writing back within 40 working days of the date of receipt of this email,
and sending us any supporting evidence which you think supports your
complaint. Please follow this link to view the Information Compliance
Complaints Procedure:
[2]http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/index..... There
will be no charge for dealing with your complaint. Please address your
complaint or request for an internal review to the Information Management
Service at:

Gloucestershire County Council

Ground Floor, Block 2/3

Shire Hall, Westgate Street

Gloucester
