Dear Burnham on Sea and Highbridge Town Council,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Burnham on Sea and Highbridge Town Council's handling of my FOI request 'Clyce Road Boatyard'.

I have not received a response other than an acknowledgement to my original request and as a result do not have any of the information requested and would like to know why. I also still require the original information asked for.

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

Yours faithfully,

Dawn Molloy

Dear Dawn

I thought I had acknowledged receipt of your FOI request and it is my intention to put together the information you require today.

One thing I do however need from you is confirmation of your home address as an e-mail address is fairly anonymous.

It is my duty to respond to such requests and I am sorry for the delay in responding - since you contacted the Town Council I have had a week;s holiday, plus a great many meetings to prepare, clerk and minute.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Amanda

Having taken further advice, it seems the e-mail address I have for you is sufficient, so here is the information you require:

Clyce Road Boatyard site planning application no 11/11/131

This application was discussed by the Town Council at the following meetings:

Planning Committee 15/12/2011 and Town Council 9/1/12 - minute no 08/12/TC
Planning committee 7/03/12 and Town Council 2/4/12 - minute no 57/12/TC

All of the above minutes are available on our website www.burnham-highbridge.org where you will be able to read/download them to print as you wish.

Highbridge hotel

Planning application 11/09/026

Planning committee meeting 23/03/2009
Also discussed generally at planning committee meetings dated 27/7/2009 and and 5/5/2009

Again all these minutes are on our website for you to view.

Other informal meetings with the landowner's representative, District Council officers and others have taken place at the request of Sedgemoor District Council but as far as I am aware no notes were taken at those meetings. You would need to contact Sedgemoor district Council about these.

For your general information all our agendas and minutes are published on our website and are available freely for interested members of the public to be aware of any discussions this Town Council has in respect of planning applications.

Dear Eileen Shaw,

Thank you for the details provided. Could you please furnish me with the minutes for all informal meetings, including the Jaycroft Road meeting on the 24th April, 2012.

Yours sincerely,

Dawn Molloy

Dear Eileen Shaw,

I apologise sincerely as I have inadvertently requested the minutes from the wrong date. The minutes I require are from the 29th March, 2012.

I look forward to hearing from you

Yours sincerely,

Dawn Molloy

Dear Eileen Shaw,

As I have not received a reply regarding the further information requested or a response to the internal review request, I have now passed this matter and all pertinent information to the 'Information Commissioners Office'.

Yours sincerely,

Dawn Molloy

Eileen Shaw, Burnham on Sea and Highbridge Town Council

Dear Dawn

If you are referring to the Clyce boatyard application, I have no record of any meeting on 129 March or 24 April 2012.

If you are referring to the Highbridge Hotel, I advised you already in my e-mail dated 11 September, the only meetings that have taken place were informal and no minutes were recorded.

I do feel that I have already answered your queries and feel disappointed that you have passed this matter to the Information Commissioner's office.

Dear Eileen Shaw,

I am more than a little disappointed at the responses I have received from yourself regarding my simple request.

I have a hard copy of the minutes from the meeting mentioned on the 29th March and have involved the information officer as this is a clear breach of the Freedom of Information Act, as you have consistently denied their existence.

The whole point of the FOI Act is to make information available to any interested parties as long as it does not breach privacy laws, which my request did not.

Yours sincerely,

Dawn Molloy

Eileen Shaw, Burnham on Sea and Highbridge Town Council

Dear Dawn

I have no record of the minutes dated 29 March, are they minutes from Burnham and Highbridge Town Council?
Are you able to send me a copy?
