Hugh Jones made this Freedom of Information request to Conwy County Borough Council

The request was refused by Conwy County Borough Council.

Dear Conwy Council,
I would like to learn the following, please:

1) What are the terms of the lease for the ice cream kiosk on Conwy
Quay. Specifically, I would like to know the length of the lease,
expiry date of lease, current rent paid and will the concession be
publicly advertised and go out to tender once the lease expires?

2) I note that the kiosk is currently being extended by approx 30%
in size. Does this mean the rent will be rising by 30% or some
other amount?

Thank you.

Dear Mr Jones

Thank you for your information request.

The information you have requested may be considered as commercially
sensitive and may be exempt from disclosure under Section 43 Commercial
Interests (Public Interest Test) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA.) This is because the contract is currently under negotiation and
has not yet been finalised.

In accordance with Council procedures, if you wish your request to be
taken forward, it will have to be put before the Qualified Persons Group
(QPG) who will make a decision regarding the disclosure of the
information you have requested, under the above exemption.

However, the current contract negotiations are expected to be finalised
within the next six weeks, and therefore the information you have
requested may become available after this date should you wish to submit
another Freedom of Information request in six weeks time.

If you still wish your current request to proceed I would be grateful if
you could let us know that you wish the Qualified Persons Group to be
convened to consider the above exemption and public interest element.
Once your request has been considered you will be advised of their
decision.

Please remember to quote the above reference number in any future
communications.

CCBC will use the "commercially sensitive" excuse for anything to do with finances - to hide the corruption within CCBC... keep fighting to get the information, which IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
