Dear Generic - Governance Admin,

Thank you for your response. While this information is available publicly, it is not a sufficient reason to disregard my request. Local authority contracts are a minefield to navigate through, as can be their parking or other income statistics, and given the current situation with Covid-19, I certainly do not have the time to search through these arduous documents. I do not think that possessing a lack of time, during these times, warrants a reason for not being able to access the information directly through an FOI request. Please retrieve the information I have requested, and post it so that others can access it too. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Helen Feta

Generic - Governance Admin, Lichfield District Council

Dear Generic - Governance Admin,

I do not understand how you can 'appreciate my points' and then completely ignore them. I do not have time to trawl through government reports, however, that is literally your job in this scenario. Please just send across the information I have requested.

Yours sincerely,

Helen Feta

Dear Generic - Governance Admin,

What is wrong with you? I've stated why I'm not going to trawl through the discombobulated format of information that you publish, and you are choosing to flat-out ignore me? Just answer the questions PLEASE - if this information is so accessible, can you just do your job, retrieve your information like every other FOI officer in the country, and return the information attached to your answer. The point in this website, by all of this being public, is to help more and more people get this information more accessibly than council's make it. All of your responses here are public. If you do not wish to make the council look even worse, I would suggest you simply answer the questions.

Regards,

Helen Feta

Generic - Governance Admin, Lichfield District Council

Good morning

I have provided hyperlinks to the relevant information and locations of
the information within the document itself along with a location of our
car parks owned or managed by Lichfield District Council. I have also
outlined that Staffordshire County Council would be available to answer
any additional information on locations not owned or managed by Lichfield
District Council.

As stated in the previous email if you are dissatisfied with the Council’s
response you have a right to appeal to the Information Commissioner at :

Information Commissioners’ Office
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire
SK9 5AF

Tel no: 0303-123-1113
Website: [1]www.ico.gov.uk

Once you have read the information hyperlinked within our response, if
there is information you need clarifying or further information on, I am
more than happy to review this request, however, I will note but not
acknowleddge any further correspondence on the same substantive request
where a response has already been provided.

Kind regards

Laura Brentnall
Governance Officer
Lichfield District Council
