Dear North Yorkshire Council,
Please provide copies, in e-format or via URL on the NYC or former HDC
website(s), of the Nomination papers for the May 2022 elections (and any
subsequent by-elections) for Potto Parish Council. Thank you
Yours faithfully,

Dear Emma Calvert,
Thank you for your response.
However, I am making a FOI request, not an electoral services type request.
The FOIA requires you to (ref S1(1)(a) confirm whether or not you hold this information. Your response does not confirm this detail, but it suggests that you do.
S1(1)(b) requires you to communicate this information to me (unless you cite an exemption - and there isn't a valid one). You have not done so - this is very disappointing.
Furthermore S10(1) requires that you respond promptly and in any case within 20 working days - I have been waiting since 18 April.
I don't want to go to the bother and generate an inordinate volume of correspondence, with delays and reviews and appeals etc. This is an easy and simple request for you to complete.
Please simply send me copies of these Nomination papers - thanks very much
Yours sincerely,
Adam Taylor
Dear Adam Taylor
Thank you for your email. I can confirm that North Yorkshire Council does not hold the information to your request, reference 202300290.
We apologise for the delay in meeting the deadline. This delay is due to the impact of Local Government Reorganisation (+IBg-LGR+IBk-) in the County of North Yorkshire, the county, borough and district councils ceased to exist after 31 March 2023. (Selby/Harrogate/Richmond/Hambleton/North Yorkshire County Council/Craven/Scarborough/Ryedale). The former authorities have been replaced by a new single council, North Yorkshire Council, with City of York Council remaining as it is.

Dear Emma Calvert,
Thanks for your response - but I am astonished. My grasp of the law is these legal based Nomination Papers had to be retained, as per your document retention policy, for a period of at least 6 years - which about until 2028.
Can you please review your response and check your retention policy and records a bit more carefully?
Yours sincerely,
Adam Taylor
