Dear Sir or Madam,
I notice that there were a large number of Suspended / unavailable
Resident or Shared Use car parking spaces in the area surrounding
Frith Street over the weekend of 14th / 15th November 2009 - due to
various road works, use of a large crane, long-term unavailable
bays around Soho Square (due to the Cross Rail works?), etc.
Q1a. How many Resident / Shared Use car parking spaces are being
made long-term unavailable as a result of the closure of a whole
side of Soho Square (the east side, next to Sutton Row)?
Q1b. When is it expected that these spaces (as per Q1a) will be
returned to use for parking?
Q2. INCLUDING the above mentioned long-term Suspended / unavailable
Soho Square spaces (Q1a/Q1b), how many Resident / Shared User car
parking spaces were Suspended or unavailable for part or all of the
weekend of 14th / 15th November 2009 in the area immediately around
Frith Street (i.e. Soho Square, Dean Street, Frith Street, Greek
Street, Carlisle Street, Old Compton Street)?
Q3a. How many ALTERNATIVE car parking spaces were made available in
light of this large number of Suspended / unavailable Resident /
Shared Use car parking spaces over the weekend of 14th / 15th
November 2009?
Q3b. If there were any (Q3a), how was this made known to the local
Residents?
Q3c. If there were any (Q3a), where were they?
Yours faithfully,
Martin J
Westminster City Council

Dear FOI,
1. What is FOI/4663, which you mention as being one of mine? I have
no knowledge of a FOI with that ref?
2. I am only aware of seven FOIs in the last 60 days, not ten!
Therefore, please advise my three "other" FOIs (in addition to 4476
("not held"), 4477 ("not held" - but I've further queried that),
4602, 4625, 4630, 4631 and 4643)?
3. Please clarify how FOIs 4602, 4625, 4630 and 4643 are for the
"same or similar" information?
Yours sincerely,
Martin J

Council's handling of my FOI request 'Number of Suspended Car

FOI/4663 [raised by WCC *on my behalf*] - as clarified in my
Annotation to this FOI.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is

Dear FOI,
I would like to WITHDRAW this request, as this should reduce the
cost advised for the "Aggregation" of FOIs
previously advised (relating to this request, amongst others).
Yours sincerely,
Martin J

I heard about this Freedom of Information request here: http://nutsville.com/?p=1735
If that is how Westminster Council wants to play it, then maybe you should sign up for another 'What Do they Know?' account/username, or get a "friend" to put in a FOI request for you. Just a thought.
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence
Make and explore Freedom of Information requests

As such, I am request an INTERNAL REVIEW for both FOI/4663 (it is not on the WhatDoTheyKnow website, so I am using this request to do so), AND for *this* FOI, given that the information request in this FOI is NOT "the same or similar" to my other FOIs!
