28 July 2010

Dear Isle of Wight Council,

As you are aware ventnorblog.com recently requested a spreadsheet
outlining the councils spent on advertising with local media on the
Island.

As a matter of public interest and to put an end to ventnorblogs
tactics to try and make the council look bad please can you also
provide me with a copy.

To help you understand what spreadheet we are speaking about please
see:

http://ventnorblog.com/2010/06/04/how-mu...

I would much rather request the original spreadsheet given to
ventnor blog as this will save the councils money but if you are
unable to do that please provide me with the following

----------------------------------------------------------

1) How much was spent in 2006 / 2007 on advertising with media
groups and newspapers on the island. This could include planning
applications, jobs, notices and campaigns.

* amount spent on advertising

----------------------------------------------------------

2) How much was spent in 2007 / 2008 on advertising with media
groups and newspapers on the island. This could include planning

3) How much was spent in 2008 / 2009 on advertising with media

4) How much was spent in 2009 / 2010 on advertising with media

This should not really take that long to see the details since ventnor blog have already requested this information and also the Isle of Wight Gazette has been given the details.

Mr. Figg left an annotation (19 August 2010)

In the final attachment the Isle of Wight council have stated:

"The Isle of Wight Council in complying with their statutory duty under sections 1 and 11 of the Freedom of Information Act to release the enclosed information will not breach the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. However, the rights of the copyright holder of the enclosed information will continue to be protected by the law. If you wish to use this information, you may require approval or licence from the copyright holder."

Yet the council have now published the data to which they refer to the Internet.
So what was the point of the original statement, as the content obviously doesn't require approval or licence from the copyright holder or they wouldn't have published it to this website.
