Relationship with the Oil and Gas Industry
Dear Blackpool and the Fylde College,
Please tell me what sponsorship, financial and other links your business has with the Conventional and Unconventional Oil and Gas Industry.
Bearing in mind that over 60 Universities have disassociated themselves from these industries due to fears regarding Climate Destruction.
Yours faithfully,
peter k. roberts.
Dear Blackpool and the Fylde College,
Your response to my Freedom of Information Request is late.
You have not abided by your legal obligation.
Sadly I find this is a growing trend with enquiries relating to the fracking industry because the answers are too embarrassing in many instances now that the toxic fossil fuel industry has been identified by no less than Sir David Attenborough as implicated in Climate Destruction.
Please remedy your lack of compliance with your legal responsibility immediately.
Yours,
peter k. roberts.
Mr. Roberts,
Firstly, let me apologise for not responding to you earlier. It appears that your original request was overlooked due to an administrative error caused by multiple team members having access to a shared Inbox and each thought the other was dealing with your request. Please let me re-assure you, that we take our legal responsibilities with regards to Freedom of Information very seriously and we are urgently working to remedy the situation. We are collecting the data for our response with the aim to get it to you next week.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Dewhurst
Chief Information Officer
