Dear Freedom Of Information,

This request is overdue the guidelines set out by the ICO.

The FOI team should have already had readily available access to the recorded information requested as the FOI dept would be the recorded information holders.

Can you please provide the requested recorded information, or provide detailed on the exceptional circumstances resulting in a delay.

Yours sincerely,

Marcus Combie

Dear Freedom Of Information,

Can you please supply an update on request 2018/0327. It is overdue.

My last chaser for an update sent on 15 January 2019 went unanswered.

The information held should already be in the FOI teams possession, and no request to other departments would need to be made to collate the requested information.

It is therefor concerning that such a delay has been allowed to continue when handling this requests.

Yours sincerely,

Marcus Combie

Freedom Of Information,

Dear Mr Combie,

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Please note as per our previous advise, following the internal review
undertaken, the only remaining option for further representations is now
to the ICO, the legal regulator of the FOI Act.  If you believe that there
are matters that have not been addressed to your satisfaction, then they
will need to be raised with the ICO as there is no provision to continue
raising the matters with the authority.

 

I hope this clarifies the matter.

Dear Freedom Of Information,

Sorry, can you please explain your reasoning here. This request was an ENTIRELY separate request. From my previous request. The previous response does not cover the scope of this request for information

For your reference:

----

I am writing to request disclosure of information under the FOI Act, for all emails, memos, minutes and other communications and records in relation to FOI 2018/17523 and the internal review into 2018/17523.

Please redact any personal information for those members of staff who are not public officials, or senior level.

-----

I am seeking the information from the FOI dept, of the emails the FOI dept sent to the information holders asking for the information and the responses received. This is an entirely separate request, and asking for information on how the previous request was compiled.

Please actually process the this request. If you continue to conflate it with the previous request as then please forward this to WBC complains division and they can reply at [email address] with the result of that investigation.

1. WBC have failed to issue a valid refusal notice.
2. WBC have failed to conduct an internal review.

The ICO can only take on cases when an internal review has been conducted.

Please conduct an internal review into this request.

Yours sincerely,

Marcus Combie

Dear Freedom Of Information,

There has been no internal review to my FOI request submitted on 4 December 2018. Your Ref: 2018/0327 -

No internal review has been completed, nor ant exemptions applied to appeal against to the ICO.

If WBC feels an internal review has been completed into FOI 2018/0327 please send it again for my reference, I can find no internal review for FOI 2018/0327 that has been sent to the What Do They Know Website.

I can't appeal against the decision of an internal review of 2018/0327 if I had not had sight of the internal review.

I look forward to receiving the requested refusal notice.

Yours sincerely,

Marcus Combie
