I would point out that under the Freedom of Information and Data

If we consider it would take over 18 hours to handle your request we will

Dear Place FOI,

The information you have given is not correct, the works were not put on hold, it was partly completed work in progress. Work was commissioned by Mike Hinton M.Hort(RHS)Cert Ed(FE) District Parks Manager – East Quadrant of Birmingham City Council.

Work was commenced on site on 5 April 2017 by an approved contractor appointed by Birmingham City Council, therefore an official work or purchase order will have been raised or an instruction given to commence and authorise the work. This is standard council procedure.

The appointed contactor will invoice the council for the cost of the work completed, therefore the information is available.

Yours sincerely,

David Moore

Place FOI, Birmingham City Council
