Security devices for on-street motorcycle parking

Dear Sir or Madam,

Can the council please give a date when they will be fitting ground
anchors or any other type of security which allows a motorcycle to
be made immovable, for all the ON-STREET parking spaces in the
Borough of Westminster? FOI 4211 covers the same question but for
secure car parks, so I would like to know about on-street
motorcycle parking spaces.

I assume this will be done soon based on Councillor Chalkley's
determination to bring in security devices for motorcycle parking.

I have been advised to submit an FOI request to ask the question as
Councillor Chalkley has been refusing to answer his emails and
letters, especially when they are motorcycle parking related.

Yours faithfully,

J Smith

Dear Sir or Madam,

In addition to my previous question, I would also like to know what
type of security device, if any, may be installed and who has been
consulted to determine the type of security device selected.

Yours faithfully,

J Smith

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please would you let me have a response to my FOI request at your
earliest convenience. You should have replied by 14th October 2009
and you are breaking the law.

Yours faithfully,

J Smith

Dear Mr Daly,

Thank you for your response. I am afraid to say that you have not
answered all parts of my question.

I asked for a DATE by which ALL the on-street motorcycle parking
bays will be fitted with security devices. Please provide a date,
not just a general and vague answer.

Also, I asked to be advised what type of security devices may be
installed and who has been consulted to determine the type of
security device selected. You do not seem to have answered this
question.

Since the council has advised that 200 new security devices have
recently been purchased, perhaps, in your reply to the above
outstanding question, you could specify what they are and what
consultation was carried out prior to buying them.

Yours sincerely,

J Smith

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am still waiting for a reply to my follow-up email dated 16th
October 2009. Please reply at your earliest opportunity.

Yours faithfully,

J Smith

Dear Ms Holden,

Thank you for your internal review. Please note that I DID NOT ask
for an internal review at this stage, I just sent a follow up email
as the council failed to answer my FOI request on time.

Anyway, the response that you provided as part of your internal
review does still not address some of the original questions set.

Firstly, regarding the 200 new security devices that the council
has recently purchased, I specifically asked what type of security
devices these are, NOT the type of security devices that the
council has already installed in a small number of motorcycle
parking bays. I don't need you to tell me what security devices
have already been installed, as I have a pair of legs that I can
use to walk around your borough and see for myself what these
security devices may be. I have instead specifically asked what
type(s) the 200 security devices that the council has recently
purchased is/are, and which have not yet been installed (hence I am
unable to see them at this present time). Please answer this
question.

Secondly, I asked to be advised what specific consultation was
carried out PRIOR to purchasing the 200 new security devices, NOT
details about the consultation that may currently be taking place.
Your response provides details of the current consultation process,
which is irrelevant to my question. I want to know about the
consultation process that specifically took place PRIOR to
purchasing the 200 security devices and on which the council made
the decision to buy those 200 security devices. Please advise who
specifically was consulted, and provide copies of any
correspondence with the parties consulted.

I hope that my FOI will be satisfactorily answered this time
around.

Yours sincerely,

J Smith

Dear Ms Holden,

I will raise a new FOI request to address my outstanding or
additional questions, as you have suggested.

Yours sincerely,

J Smith
