Dear Manchester City Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Manchester City
Council's handling of my FOI request 'Town Hall Extension
Redevelopment'.
The documents I have requested have been rejected on the grounds of
'commercial sensitivity', despite the fact that the contract has
already been signed.
The Audit Commission Act 1998 allows people to go into
local councils and inspect their accounts, including all documents
such as invoices and contracts from which those accounts derive.
The documents cannot be considered commercially sensitive since
they are by definition public (in June).
Could you also provide me with the titles and document identifiers
of those 3 currently withheld documents, so that there is no
confusion during future correspondence.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
