Dear Oxfordshire County Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

Perhaps this is the "evidence presented by Dr Tim Schwanen" to the scrutiny committee; the minutes of the meeting of 16th November 2022 - Agenda item 6 21/22 CENTRAL OXFORDSHIRE TRAVEL PLAN: Professor Tim Schwarnen, University of Oxford, addressed the Committee. He made the following points:
- Restrictive policies were essential to achieve targets in the LTCP
- A workplace parking levy could create resources to fund Council objectives
- More attention should be given to goods and transport
- Improvements were needed to communication and framing of policies
- More emphasis should be given to fairness and consultation"
No correspondence - just an address to the scrutiny committee - nothing to hide.https://mycouncil.oxfordshire.gov.uk/doc...
Dear Oxfordshire County Council,

Dear FOI Team,
For this request you sent, after intervention from the ICO and a Decision Notice being granted against you a chain of emails and powerpoint which you have sent privately to me as a scan of a paper document which makes it difficult for me to post here.
I would be grateful if you would upload the released information to this portal to avoid generating the impression that you wish to hide the response from the public.
Yours sincerely,
Debbie

This should be an interesting one.
You know when OCC are so unhelpful, there is something to hide.
