A) All sites with the exception of Duke Street Car Park were passed to City Parking to operate at its inception.

Dear City Parking (Glasgow) LLP,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of City Parking (Glasgow) LLP's handling of my FOI request 'Car Park ownership'.

your refusal to reveal the value of the properties in question is seriously flawed. Although City Parking operates as a distinct identity from Glasgow City Council, since its inception is as an ALEO established by Steven Purcell, then Leader of Glasgow City Council and the properties in question transferred from Council (that is public!) owned property then the information should be made available to the citizens of Glasgow.

Please reconsider your response and provide the requested information. If you intend to hold to your original decision. please be advised that the matter will be referred to the Information Commissioner.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:
