Dear Angie Shearon,
Please note the following....
(THIS IS NOT A FOI REQUEST!)
The information I requested doesn’t fall under the section 14 notice that the WYCA issued.
The requested information clearly has nothing to do with the ‘Halifax Town Centre Project’.
As part of issuing a section 14 notice the WYCA has a duty to communicate to the person/s whom the notice has been issued, what information this concerns. Due to the ambiguity of this project I seeked clarification from the WYCA to which I was informed “anything relating to the Halifax town centre.”
The information requested seeks to establish the boundaries of the Town Centre to avoid submitting FOI Requests that would later be rejected. As a result of non-cooperation by the WYCA and its failure to communicate the extent of information that the section notice covers, preventing what the WYCA considers to be a “be a disproportionate strain on time and resources” has been un-avoided, something that itself questions the reasoning behind the WYCA intention of issuing a section 14 notice in the first place.
The response I received dated 11th November 2016, states how now the “WYCA considers that the Halifax Town Centre project covers all projects detailed in the Halifax Town Centre Delivery Plan. The response to this FOI Request should have been treated based upon the definition of the ‘HTCP’ that had already been communicated to myself.
Even under this refined definition of the ‘HTCP’ that indicates collusion between the WYCA & CMBC. The extend of this project is still ambiguous as on the 15th July 2016 I requested a copy of the “indicative route of the outline design of this bypass that would cut around the back of Halifax railway station” to which my request was refused under the aforementioned notice despite this proposed/planned bypass is not within Halifax Town Centre or even a project that is stated within the Halifax Delivery Plan.
Therefore my request remains to be valid and in the interests of the WYCA to properly communicate the exact extend of Halifax Town Centre!
Yours faithfully
MBradley,
