Dear Highways England,

Thank you for your email.

I think there might have been a mix-up between this request and another we submitted for Highways England's dealings with the LCR? Please can you update the LCR request if so?

This request relates to copies of the feedback from October's public information sessions and a response is due by 17th January.

Yours sincerely,

Rimrose Valley Friends

Dear Highways England Company Limited,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Highways England Company Limited's handling of my FOI request 'A5036 Port of Liverpool Access Scheme - Feedback sheets from public information sessions'.

We dispute the decision to withhold information on the following grounds:

1. The redaction of "personal details" from the requests is a straightforward process. How, exactly, is this "much harder" than removing a name or an address?
2. We believe that the argument that handwriting may lead to a person's identification is tenuous and deliberately obstructive: other than family members, who would be able to identify another's handwriting?
3. If however, #2 above is upheld, the forms should be typed up
4. If it is held that typing up these documents is too time-consuming, scanning software automates this process – Google has lots of different options available, depending on the system being used
5. Regarding no contact details having been provided: If steps 1-4 above are followed, there would be no breach of data protection – the person could not be identified
6. We contend that the public interest in sharing this information far outweighs the data protection elements raised, once each of the measures above has been taken
7. Citing the use of Commonplace as the equivalent to the completion of paper forms is incorrect and deliberately obstructive. Many of the people who attended these sessions are not online and this was their first opportunity to have made their views known on paper since 2017's public consultation. Many asked us to ensure that these would be shared
8. If it is still maintained that this information cannot be shared, what was the purpose of this exercise?

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...

Yours faithfully,

Rimrose Valley Friends
