Dear Spain, Jo,

Can you please supply a copy of your retention policy.

There are still Statement of persons nominated on Stroud Council’s website. Why?

Yours sincerely,

Dear Paul Woods,

The retention policy can be found on the website here under section 13.6: https://www.stroud.gov.uk/council-and-de...

Thank you for advising us that there are Statement of Persons Nominated on our website, I have looked and can only see the Statement of Uncontested Election for Whiteshill Parish By-Election which contains the Statement of Persons Nominated, I have now removed this as the election occurred over 21 days ago. I have reminded the team of the need to diarise in their calendars document removal dates in line with our retention policy.

The Statement of Persons Nominated you have included in your email can be found from a web search (using google) however is no longer available directly on our website as the webpage was removed earlier this year. I have spoken to our web developer to enquire why the media file could still be found and he advised that although the relevant webpage had been deleted the PDF was still showing in the media area and therefore Google was able to locate it. He has advised that this should now have been resolved but may take a few days for google to update.
