Dear Ceredigion CE Freedom Of Information,
Thank you for your recent reply, but I assume that you have sent this to me in error, as:

Could you tell me when I can expect a reply addressing those items which I have requested?

Dear Ceredigion CE Freedom Of Information,
Many thanks for your reply dated 6th October 2020.
Firstly, I would like to point out that the links which I believe you provided in your reply (to publicly available information) did not, unfortunately, survive transmission, but I believe I was able to find the linked information anyway.
I note with interest that the legal basis for the decision (as stated in the Gold Command Decision Notice of 9.7.20) was due to "the likelihood of danger to the public" as a result of the virus, and yet you state that no investigation was made prior to the decision into the resulting likelihood of danger to the public from diverted traffic on the diversion route (all this aside from the affects on health and well-being of residents on that route).
Finally, I would like to reiterate that my request was unrelated to "Mike Jones": I did not ask for names of those who attended the meetings where this decision was made (although this information is gratefully received), but for minutes of those meetings, which I presume will present a more contextual picture of what information was considered before the decision was made.
Kind regards
Mark Hiser

Dear Ceredigion Council FOI team,
I am writing to request an internal review of Ceredigion Council's handling of my FOI request 'Details around the decision to close Cardigan High Street during the Covid-19 pandemic'.
This request is now long overdue, and I have not received a response for some time to either register the overdue status or explain why.
You will see, if you check my original submission, that I requested THE MINUTES OF ALL MEETINGS where the decision to close the high street and divert traffic was discussed. These minutes have not been forthcoming, despite my having contacted you to reiterate that they formed part of my request on 9th October 2020.
Kindly send me all of the information that I originally requested or a legitimate explanation as to why it is not forthcoming.
Faithfully,
Mark Hiser
