Dear Newark and Sherwood District Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Newark and Sherwood District Council's handling of my FOI request 'Correspondence between N&SDC and NCC January 21 2015'. and why the N&SDC do not have a copy of the letter referred to, or ratained any reply. As I have a copy of the letter above, and this was suplied to me, am I to understandt hat the letter was never sent, and no reply was ever received? If so, this is a case of maladministration - and an abuse of information sent to a sitting councillor.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
Yours faithfully,
Peter Harris

Dear Newark and Sherwood District Council,
I am writing to request an formal review of Newark and Sherwood District Council's handling of my FOI request 'Correspondence between N&SDC and NCC January 21 2015'. and why the N&SDC do not have a copy of the letter referred to, or retained any reply.
I pointed out that I was sent a copy of the letter above, but there was am implied denial of the N&SDC having sent this letter. I was led to understand that the letter was never sent, and that no reply was ever received. It now appears that the letter was sent, but this was not revealed me until I requested a first review.
This was and is surprising. The internal methods for the provision of a full response to my request casts doubt on how effective your responses are. It was only because I had a copy of the initial letter that I was able to pursue the matter with yourselves.
It has taken many weeks to get hold of the material - that may have affected planning decisions or the public responses to consultation on planning applications in the meantime.
This is inadequate. N&SDC's processes need to be reviewed so that a full response is given initially and not requiring a further, and lengthy, review.
This is a case of maladministration - and potentially an abuse of information sent to a sitting councillor. As a consequence I am requesting a formal internal review of how requests such as these are handled, and I await your response.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Karen,
Thank you for your review, and the result that you have shared. However, you have failed to find and then send me copies of the reply to the letter.
Are you saying that there was no reply, or no notes made of any other reply in response to the important, and some would argue critical, queries posed by the N&SDC?
Yours sincerely,
Peter Harris
Dear Karen,
I apologise. The reply was sent to me earlier but it was unclear to tme that it was, as it was part of an earlier attachment. I am sorry that I thought that I had not hhad the copy, I now have been.
Regretfully
Peter Harris
