Dear City of York Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of City of York Council's handling of my FOI request 'Floyd Staff Memos'.
I have allowed plenty of extra time .. another breach of your obligations - it would take very little time to produce these memos.
[ GIVE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINT HERE ]
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/f...
Yours faithfully,
Gwen Swinburn

ICO served section 10 notice - very bad news when the now elevated Floyd- responsible for now two public interest reports, ignores an Foi about his own actions… what a tangled web…
Dear Ms Swinburn,
Thank you for your correspondence about the way the council is dealing
with your information request. You are concerned that the council has not
responded within the statutory time scale.
The Council acknowledges that we have not provided you with a response
within the statutory time scale, this falls short of the council
expectations for responding to FOIAs. Please accept the council apologies
for the delay.
However, I am now able to provide you with a response to your enquiry
under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
You Request:
* Copies of chief operating officer Floyd regular emails to all staff,
unredacted, sent from January 1 to the present.
Please see attached document. Although the content isn’t redacted, we did
have to ensure all personal information was redacted.
Again please accept the council apologies for the delay in responding.
If you are dissatisfied with our response you have the right to ask for an
independent review of how your enquiry was handled and responded to. This
can be done by contacting us at [1][City of York Council request email]
within 40 working days of receiving your response, stating your reason(s)
why you are dissatisfied.
If you remain dissatisfied following the internal review response you can
contact the Information Commissioner, contact details below:

Note Floyd had to be directed yet again by the ICO .. it is quite a pattern these days.. now let’s see if ‘the’ emails re Covid queue cheat staff are included- many staff jumped the queues sharing vaccine numbers so they could push themselves in front of the queue.
We work to defend the right to FOI for everyone
Help us protect your right to hold public authorities to account. Donate and support our work.
