ref 3461

Dear Herts Direct,

As noted in an e-mail to your Chief Executive dated 22nd April
2010, and again in an e-mail to Ms Dunnicliffe, HCC Senior
Information Access Practitioner dated 23rd April 2020, your
response to my FoI request headed "Who is the 3rd Party responsible
for Grove Road" is now out of time, the due date being 21st April
2010.

I note that whilst you are not yet able to tell me who the 1st
Third Party to whom you referred the obstruction is, you are able
to tell me that he / she / it is the same as the 2nd Third Party
(the subject of a second FoI request to which you have responded).

You must therefore know who the Third Party is. If you did not you
could not tell me that he / she / it is the same in both cases.
That being so, why so coy about telling me who he / she / it is?

Please now send me the information, which you obviously have to
hand, by the end of today.

Please do not forget that I also asked "What responsibility do HCC
consider this 3rd party has to remove the reported obstruction of
Grove Road?

Yours sincerely,

J Edwards

Dear J. Edwards

Reference number: FOI/ENV/03/10/1975

In response to your recent further communication:

I note that whilst you are not yet able to tell me who the 1st
Third Party to whom you referred the obstruction is, you are able
to tell me that he / she / it is the same as the 2nd Third Party
(the subject of a second FoI request to which you have responded).

You must therefore know who the Third Party is. If you did not you
could not tell me that he / she / it is the same in both cases.
That being so, why so coy about telling me who he / she / it is?

Please now send me the information, which you obviously have to
hand, by the end of today.

Please do not forget that I also asked "What responsibility do HCC
consider this 3rd party has to remove the reported obstruction of
Grove Road?

In both cases it was an internal referral from the Highways Works Team to
the Area Management Team. I understand that this is standard wording
within the fault reports recording system where the road in question is
Highway not maintained at the public expense and therefore the problem
falls outside the remit of the Highways Works Team.

The role of the Area Management Team (The third party referred to) would
be to liaise with any other agency or individual who may have
responsibility to resolve the issue. However please note that where we
refer any issue to an individual we would not release any information by
which they could be identified as Data Protection legislation takes
precedence over Freedom of Information legislation

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, quoting
