Dear Mr. Hammill,
 
I am able to confirm that the study was commissioned earlier this year as
planned. However due to a number of factors there have been some delays in
the final study being produced. The process to finalise the study is
ongoing and we hope it will be completed shortly. It will be placed into
the public domain at that point and naturally we will be happy to forward
a copy to you when completed.
 
I would like to extend my apologies to you for the delay and for not
posting a notice that the report was delayed. I trust this is acceptable
and in the meantime please feel free to contact me in the meantime.
 
Regards,
 
Charles

Hi Mr. Hammill,

Apologies for not coming back to you sooner.
We received the first draft of the report last week but unfortunately it needs more work. The researched have gone back to provide more information and further research and I anticipate the 2nd draft sometime towards the end of June. We will have a further review then and if finalised the report will be released. If it needs further work it will be further delayed.

I've put a reminder in my diary to contact you at the end of June to give you a further update.

Dear Mr Hammill
 
Thank you for your request dated 21 July 2014 asking for an internal
review of your enquiry, CF6809. 
 
I have made enquiries and understand that the outstanding information
requested in your original reply is not held. You have disputed the
Council’s reply to question 4, which asked:
 
“How many hotel bedrooms does the council think are necessary over the
next 5 years?”
 
To this, the Council replied that it was exempt from disclosure under s22
of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, as it was intended for future
publication. This reply, although correct in one way, in that the
information is intended for future publication, does not make the position
clear. The Council does not actually yet hold the information which you
have requested, so is unable to release it to you.
 
Subsequently there has been much correspondence with yourself regarding
this issue, as the report was not published when it was intended to have
been published. You have submitted various further questions, which have
been answered as part of that correspondence. The one remaining question
which is unanswered is for the details of hotels which have been contacted
by the researchers. I understand that this information is not held by the
Council, but by the researchers themselves, so the Council is unable to
respond to this. The Council had commissioned the report and its interest
is in the final results. It was never intended that it would have access
to details of which hotels were contacted as part of the research, so this
information is not held on behalf of the Council. The Council has already
informed you that the report will be published as soon as it is complete.
 
I am therefore satisfied that the Council has fulfilled its obligations in
relation to your request, as the specific information which you have
requested is not held by the Council. The Act gives a right of access to
recorded information only, and correspondence regarding complaints or
procedural issues should be addressed outside of this legislation.
 
If you wish you may complain about my decision to the Information
Commissioner at Commissioner at [1][email address] or write to:

Dear Mr Hammill

The delay with this report is ridiculous, but, not unusual for City of York Council.

In 2012 a survey by council officers was concluded in September titled 'Get York Building'. This was used to inform on measures needed to unblock stalled housing developments in York, which were discussed and agreed at a committee meeting in February 2013, but, the report was not published. As a supporting/background paper, it should have been, and by not being published the council were in breach of Statutory Instrument No 2089 (2012).

I requested that the report/survey be published, and was told it could not be because it was confidential and contained commercially sensitive information.

I complained to the Police, who referred the matter to the LGO, and after three views by them which I refused to accept, they finally managed to pressure the council to release a redacted version of the survey. It took the council until January 2014 to provide this, and they had been discussing it since May 2013. There were four redactions to one part of the survey, one being a telephone number?!! The findings of the survey were completely misinterpreted, and the survey was flawed, with over half questioned being irrelevant, and views from others being incorrectly analysed with weight not being attached to the major sites which were more relevant to certain policies. Frankly, it was a stitch-up, with the council witholding the report/survey, because it did not support the conclusions/recommendations the author had arrived at.

I suspect that there are similar issues with the Hotel study.

I notice that your Hotel was not questioned either - that's a coincidence, as certain developers/architects were not questioned about sites that were supposed to be in the Get York Building report. Like you, they had showed dissent or asked questions about council policies.

I hope you get the picture.

Yours sincerely

The responses from CYC to this email appear to be evasive and raise questions about their commitment to transparency and openness.

Does anybody know what legal remedies are available when a public body goes rogue and deliberately evades reasonable questions from members of the public? At what point at the individuals involved personally liable and what civil/criminal action can be taken against them?

Long, Erin, City of York Council

Dear Michael Hammill,

 

In answer to your questions:

 

Who in the Council is project managing the report?

The Economic Development Department are project managing the report. Katie
Stewart is the project manager, with Charles Storr deputising, however the
report itself is being put together by external researchers.

 

Is this consultation still running or has the policy now been published?

Yes, it is still running but it is now more of a research project with
some stakeholders being consulted.

 

If it is not published yet, when will it be published?

Due to some avenues still being explored by the researchers, and the many
variables involved in a report of this nature we cannot give a definite
date, however to be helpful we are hoping to publish in mid-September. If
the report still needs more work it will be later than this. The report
will be published to this link/website http://www.yorkmeansbusiness.co.uk
as well as the main www.york.gov.uk site, so please check this link
regularity from mid September. If it is not published, this means it is
still undergoing work but be assured that we will be publishing it when
complete.

Dear City of York Council,

What is going on here please?

After chasing Mrs Stewart I've just received an email from Charles Storr dated 21 October 2014 directing me to the report that I've been asking for over half a year. Its actually dated July 2014 see http://www.york.gov.uk/info/200803/touri...

Yet back in August you are denying its existence - please clarify?

Is there some reason why its been kept from me and the wider public. Please don't ignore this message, because it will only result in more messages and involve the Information Commissioner in the long run. A waste of more taxpayers money.

Yours faithfully,

Michael Hammill

Storr, Charles, City of York Council

Dear Sir,

Further to your request, I can confirm that the report was finalised and delivered in September and once we had the opportunity to review it, it was posted on the Councils website. I can only guess that the report authors started writing the report in July but the date was never changed. I have since asked the authors to correct the mistake and issue an updated version with the correct dates and once received, I will replace it online immediately.

I trust this is acceptable and if you need anything further please feel free to come back to me.

Regards
Charles Storr
