Percy Street traffic/space review documents

The request was partially successful.

Dear Newcastle upon Tyne City Council,

PERCY STREET REVIEW

Could you please share this piece of public information (as I am unable to find it on your website):

Reports relating to the review of Percy Street's use for traffic and space, possibly carried out by external consultant Capita Symonds/Crowd, or others, over the last four years or so, but could be longer.

I would like to be more specific, but my council is very frugal with sharing information. I have also tried to gain info through officers who sadly were unable to help.

Yours faithfully,
Katja Leyendecker

Dear Keith

You say "I enclose the reports and information held by the City Council in respect of this review, specifically information relating to the stakeholder workshop held to explore the draft options put forward by Capita, which I trust you will find informative."

Thanks, the stakeholder workshop info which is indeed very informative, but in fact the only information attached. Many thanks also for forwarding the client brief (outside this website, by email).

Judging from that there is a final report, as mentioned in that brief as the key deliverable, and I would welcome to receive a copy.

Thanks,
Katja

Taylor, Keith, Newcastle upon Tyne City Council

Katya,

Regards

Keith
