Fashion Museum Application to Levelling Up Fund
Dear Bath and North East Somerset Council,
Please can I have a copy of the final submission to the government's Levelling Up Fund for £20mn in funds to support the Fashion Museum relocation and restablishment. The submission will most likely have been in August 2022. I can find no copy online.
Yours faithfully,
Tom Horkin
Dear Bath and North East Somerset Council,
You are a day late in providing this information. What is the reason for your tardiness? When can I expect to see the information? Let's not go down the route of me having to involve the ICO.
Yours faithfully,
Tom Horkin
Dear Bath and North East Somerset Council,
I know I don't write the law, and you don't write the law, but together we must still obey it.
By law, you were obligated to respond to me by the 17th of February - and here we are a week later, and still no response from you!
I gave you a friendly reminder, but now the deadline has officially passed.
I don't want us to be at odds here - but nevertheless I am requesting an internal review.
We both know how this plays out.
Let's not let the law get between us, okay?
Ciao!
Tom Horkin

Dear Jeff Wring,
Thank you for taking up the cudgel and helping me with my Freedom of Information (FOI) request. I have still not heard anything back from the team regarding my request and we are now well over the legal time for me to receive a reply.
I was wondering if there is a chance you could just hurry them along a little. I understand that this is not an onerous or time-consuming request, so I would really appreciate it if you could help me out.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Tom Horkin
Dear Information Governance,
I understand from the Head of Heritages Services that in refusing the request for funds, the council received a brief explanation of why we had been unsuccessful. He described this as two sides of A4.
I am writing to request that you add this to the documents already requested. I understand that the original request is getting on for a month late, and I would not want to add to this delay. Therefore, I am happy to receive the documents in separate packages.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
Tom Horkin
Dear Tom Horkin,
Freedom of Information Act 2000
Thank you for your request. We can confirm that your request has been logged and will be dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. It has been decided after discussion to treat your request as a new FOI request.
As a result we will respond as soon as possible and within the 20 working day time limit.

Dear Information Governance,
You responded. Super.
Now what's the reason for the delay on my original request? You are now way late, and the least I expect is an explanation for the delay
Yours sincerely,
Tom Horkin
Dear T Horkin,
We apologise for the delay in our response. In this instance the scope of
the request is large, in that it encompasses both the application document
and over 20 appendices/documents. Some appendices are very large and
contain commercially sensitive information which is being considered.
As a result, we can confirm that a response to your request is being
prioritised and we will respond as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Information Governance,
Thank you for finally responding.
Please remember the request was made on the 21st January. You have had ample opportunity to reply to me with an explanation for the delay, but you have not until the 14th March and until I had requested an enquiry. You are now well past the legal limit for providing the requested information, and I wish to receive it at the earliest opportunity. I am counting the days.
Yours sincerely,
Tom Horkin
Dear Information Governance,
It is now two months since my initial request, and still nothing. Can you at least tell me when I can expect the information to be provided. I am happy to receive a partial answer, with the complete file to follow.
Yours sincerely,
Tom Horkin
Dear T Horkin,
We apologise for the delay in our response. We can confirm that we are finalising the response and currently anticipate that we will be in a position to respond early next week.

Dear Information Governance,
I requested an internal review on February 24th, 2023, and you responded on March 2nd, 2023, saying I would receive a full response from Mr Wring in due course and indicating that the target was to respond within 20 working days. We are now clearly over 20 days from my request, and I believe today is the 20th working day since your reply. Could you please let me know when I can expect a full response from Mr Wring?
