Dear Mr Locke

Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000

Further to your email dated 5^th February 2010 in which you request the
disclosure of information under the provisions of the above Act, we are
now in a position to provide you with a response.

Please can you provide me the total amount of tax payer money spent
developing the Lancashire Hot Spot website portal?

The Lancashire Hotspot Website portal was funded through grant monies.
However, the development was unsuccessful and was never deployed fully.
None of the individuals who worked on its concept and development are now
working for the Authority. As a result, we are unable to provide you with
the information you have requested as it would incur a commitment of
resources in excess of the limit of £450 set by the Freedom of
Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations
2004 (SI No. 3244 of 2004), which equates to 18 hours of work. Section
12(1) of the Freedom of Information Act provides that a public authority
is not obliged to comply with a request where to do so would exceed such a
limit.

We are sorry that we have been unable to assist you on this occasion. In
the event that you wish to complain about the manner in which your enquiry
has been handled, you should write in the first instance to The Freedom of
Information Officer, Lancashire County Council, PO Box 78, County Hall,
Preston PR1 8XJ, or email [1][Lancashire County Council request email]

If, after this stage, you remain dissatisfied, you have the right to refer
the matter to the Information Commissioner, whose contact details are as
follows:
