Disruption to local residents - Harcourt Street, North Reddish

A Freedom of Information request to Stockport Borough Council by Sheila Oliver

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

Dear Stockport Borough Council,

During the Harcourt Street contamination remediation work, when
builders will have to use special protective equipment, I assume
people will not be allowed to walk over the site and the diverted
footpath will not be able to be used. There will be a lot of extra
lorry traffic to remove the contamination to the disposal site at
Warrington and the road will have to be continuously cleaned by a
roadsweeper as part of the remediation measures, so the already
terrible traffic problem will be even worse during this period. How
long is this contamination remediation work likely to take? I
assume the developers will have addressed this problem.

Yours faithfully,

Sheila Oliver

I am writing in response to your request for information below (ref 2552).

As you have previously been informed, 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 been through the Council's internal review
process and was upheld. It has also been investigated by the Information
Commissioner's Office at your request; the ICO upheld the Council's
decision in its Decision Notice.

Yours sincerely,

Claire Naven

Dear Stockport Borough Council,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Stockport Borough
Council's handling of my FOI request 'Disruption to local residents
- Harcourt Street, North Reddish'.

A Senior Complaints Office at the Information Commission stated on
14/01/10 that I could continue to ask questions on this
subject.What has Stockport Council got to hide regarding this
matter, which is, as one can see from the nature of the question, a
very important one for local residents?

Dear Mrs Oliver,

I am writing in response to your email below (ref 2552).

As we have previously explained to you on a number of occasions, the
Council has already carried out an internal review of its decision to
refuse all your requests on the subject of Harcourt Street on the grounds
that they are vexatious and manifestly unreasonable. Your subsequent
complaint has also been investigated by the Information Commissioner's
Office which issued a Decision Notice and upheld the Council's decision.
On this basis, the Council will not be carrying out an internal review.

Yours sincerely,

Claire Naven

Sheila Oliver left an annotation (27 January 2010)

The Council declared me vexatious after I wrote many times to them protesting that a man subsequently proved innocent had been sent to prison as a result of their actions, that they were intending to knowingly build a school on a contaminated site extensively tipped from 1954 to 1974 with industrial waste on which they intended to carry out no contamination remediation whatsoever. They have been forced to admit recently that the site is entirely contaminated with arsenic, lead and asbestos. The school should have opened in September 2008 and 550 children would have been exposed to those chemical dangers. They also were hiding the fact that they were going to have to borrow £5 million for the school, having previously said £6.9 million would be coming from capital receipts and they were hiding the fact that they failed to comply with the law with regards to the compulsory purchase of a strip of land they knew perfectly well was in a householder's garden. They should have held a public inquiry, which they would probably have lost, so they simply took the land.

The Council was told on 14/01/10 by a senior Information Commission complaints officer that I could ask questions on this subject.

I shall be taking this matter to Mr. Thomas, Information Commissioner, himself.

Stockport Council has a lot to conceal, but I shall expose what they are trying to cover up. It doesn't matter how long it takes.

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Stockport Borough
Council's handling of my FOI request 'Disruption to local residents

... "Notice relates specifically to the request you made on 1st
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 their requests and if
following this review you remain unhappy with their response you
