From: Matthew S Myatt

22 January 2010

Dear Eastleigh Borough Council,

Myself and Chris Huhne MP, were informed two years ago in writing
by EBC Arts Department, that an exhibition of photographs by Chris
Nash that were on display in The Point, would be auctioned to raise
funds for local art projects.

Please can you tell me where and when this auction took place and
the total amount of money that was raised as a result of the sale
of these pictures.

Please

Yours faithfully,

Matthew S Myatt

Dear Roxanne,

Why is there a delay in my FOI request.

You were required by law to respond by the 19th Feb 2010 and are
now breaching the FOI Act and as such committing a criminal
offence.

Yours sincerely,

not have the information despite an assurance from your FOI Officer

Dear Matthew,

Re: Request for Information

Thank you for your request which we received on the 25^th January 2010 and
apologies for the late response.

I can confirm that Eastleigh Borough Council does hold the information
requested.

Myself and Chris Huhne MP, were informed two years ago in writing by EBC
Arts Department, that an exhibition of photographs by Chris Nash that were
on display in The Point, would be auctioned to raise funds for local art
projects.

Please can you tell me where and when this auction took place and the
total amount of money that was raised as a result of the sale of these
pictures?

The auction in question was deferred from the original date, but was never
rescheduled. Subsequently the photographs were returned to Chris Nash, who
was invited to stage a retrospective of his work in London.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further enquiries
regarding your request.
