LGA press release
Dear Scarborough Borough Council,
Scarborough Council was recently mentioned in a list of strange requests issued by the LGA in an attempt to discredit the FOI process. The Scarborough request was about exotic pets. I would like to request the following information about the Council's involvement.
Does Scarborough Council license dangerous animals?
Did Scarborough Council approach the LGA about the pet FOI request or was the Council approached by the LGA? If the LGA used the Scarborough request without consulting the council, please confirm this.
I would like to request copies of correspondence between the Council and the LGA about the pet request and how it would be used.
I would like to request copies of any correspondence received by Scarborough Council from the LGA on the subject of FOI generally in the last 12 months. Please limit any search to Chief Executive’s team, the Public Relations Team, and those staff dealing with FOI requests.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Parker
