CCC Cuts - Recycle Credits

Dear Cumbria County Council,
In response to your online consultation on cuts to services I would
request the following information

Preable (from CCC website)
Remove recycling credits payments - £194k
We pay recycling credits to the third sector (charities, voluntary
and social enterprises) and private organisations which collect
materials that can be recycled. This is a discretionary activity
and this option is to stop payment of recycling credits to these
organisations.

Questions
Spreadsheet of
* A list of all organisations receiving recycle credits and
include:- (If the organisation is a charity or not-for-profit then
there are no issues regarding commercial sensitivity, as this data
is published by the organisation, if the organisation is a for
profit, then please redact information you feel is commercially
sensitive)
* Type of waste(s) they collect
* Is this recycle credit part of a tender/SLA? (if so what are the
contract periods)
* Does the organisation receive the recycling credit through
collection from a HWRC, from Bring Sites (or other)
* Which sites does the organisation collect from? (all, one, brings
sites
* Classes of waste collected

* What does the council do with the data provided by the
organisations?
* How much money is saved by the council each year by third sector
organisations carrying out administration, recycling and
reprocessing waste which would otherwise be landfilled?
(Please give description + calculations)

Yours faithfully,

Rick Seymour

Dear Cumbria County Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Cumbria County
Council's handling of my FOI request 'CCC Cuts - Recycle Credits'.

(CCC Internal References below)

The information contained within this FOI request was to be used as
part of the public consultation into the cuts to be made by CCC.

Many of the cuts proposed are vague at best with no real detail on
how front line services will be affected, hence this FOI.

With the deadline to the end of the public consultation fast
approaching it would seem that the 8 FOI requests I submitted,
which go to multiple directorates have been deliberately held back
to withhold the truth from the citizens of Cumbria.

I therefore request a full internal review on why none of my FOIs
have been returned.
This message will also be posted on the CCC Consultation Website
and forwarded to relevant media outlets, and if the review is not
satisfactory this will be referred to the ICO.
