Waiting for an internal review by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council of their handling of this request.

Dear Stockport Borough Council,
Has the Council contacted its insurers regarding the recent finding
of brown asbestos on the site of the proposed 550 pupil primary
school and nursery for 50 babies? I would suspect that this fact
should have been disclosed to them, given the longterm implications
for legal action both from local residents who are having lots of
dust in their homes at the present time, the building workers on
the site who appear not to have any protective clothing with
regards to contamination and, of course, the young children and
babies who will be on the site for so long every day and for so
many weeks every year, possibly breathing in brown asbestos fibres
from the land fill gas venting ducts in the school building and
playground. Unstable former landfill sites should not even be built
on, and certainly not for a primary school.
If you refuse my request and I suspect you will, at least this
issue has been publicly raised.
Kind regards
Sheila

Dear Mrs Oliver,
I am writing in response to your request for information below (ref 3266).
As you have previously been informed, all your requests for information
about Harcourt Street are considered to be vexatious under section 14(1)
Freedom of Information Act 2000 and manifestly unreasonable under
Regulation 12(4)(b) Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and will
not receive a response. This decision has previously been through the
Council's internal review process and was upheld.
You are entitled to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. To
do so, contact:

Dear FOI Officer,
And as I have previously told you, this is very, very suspect and
costing the council taxpayer millions of pounds more than it should
do.
I have taken this action now:-

I will post up the outcome.
Yours sincerely,
Sheila Oliver

Is my local MP Andrew Stunell having a laugh here? I repeatedly
asked him to make Stockport Council reply to questions, which they
have avoided for about four years:-

I shall ask him again for help and post his response, or lack of
it, on this site.

Case Reference Number RCC0296506 / FS50232537 Stockport Borough Council
Dear Mrs Oliver
Thank you for your letter of 7 February 2010. In your letter you state that since the issuing of the Decision Notice in relation to case FS50232537 on 10 November 2009 further evidence has come to light which you feel no proves you are not vexatious. You also state that since the Decision Notice was issued all your subsequent requests for information made to the Council have been refused on the basis that the requests are vexatious.
The Decision Notice found that at the time of your request, which was 1 December 2008, your request was manifestly unreasonable and therefore Stockport Borough Council were correct to refuse to disclose to you the information you requested by virtue of 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations. All Decision Notice must consider the circumstances at the time the request was made and cannot take into account circumstances that post date the request. If you are unhappy with the findings of the Decision Notice you should appeal to the First-Tier Tribunal (Information Rights). Any appeal should be lodged with the Tribunal within 28 days of the date of the Decision Notice. The contact details for the Tribunal are found at the bottom of the Decision Notice.
In relation to your second point, that the Council are now refusing all your requests for information on the basis that they are vexatious, the Decision Notice relates specifically to the request you made on the 1 December 2008 and does not make any finding regarding future requests. If you have made further requests and these have been refused you should ask the Council to review the requests and if following this review you remain unhappy with their response you can bring a new complaint to the Commissioner.
