Dear Waltham Forest Borough Council,
I notice that the EQIAs for LTNs schemes have not been signed.
Please can you tell me know signed off the EQIAs for the LTN schemes, (Coppermill etc)?
By what criteria did they did they judge that the EQIAs were acceptable?
And what relevant qualifications does this person have to do the role?
Yours faithfully,
Charles Edwards

Dear Waltham Forest Borough Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Waltham Forest Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'EQIA Signing off'.
I'm not impressed with the contents of this EQIA, it falls short in various areas.
According to FOI285163408 Coppermill-Appendix E-EQIA:-
'The scheme has developed through consultation with a number of stakeholders including: cycling and access groups, religious groups, local Councillors, local businesses, residents groups and the Council staff. Overall the scheme has received support. Continuous dialogue with stakeholders and the local community will form the basis of the final design of the Coppermill Liveable Neighbourhoods Scheme.'
But the person who wrote the report have not listed these groups and there feedback, no infact the emergency services. Please can you provide a list of these groups and their input/feeback please? Thank you.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/e...
Yours faithfully,
Charles Edwards
