River Gipping diversion

The request was refused by Environment Agency.

Dear Environment Agency,

Would you tell me what law was used to divert the River Gipping at Ipswich please? I am aware of the Ipswich Dock Acts but what interests me here is how the Gipping came to be stopped up somewhere around Alderman Road in Ipswich as I can see no mention of this in the Ipswich Dock Acts?

Yours faithfully,

Peter Turtill

Dear Mr Turtill

 

RE: Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA) / Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR)

 

Thank you for your enquiry of 7 September 2013.

 

As you are aware requests for recorded information are generally governed
by the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). However, the information
you have requested is environmental and it is therefore exempted from the
provisions of FOIA by FOIA s.39(1). We are therefore considering your
request under the provisions of the Environmental Information Regulations
2004 (EIR).

 

In accordance with the EIR from the date we receive your request we have a
total of 20 working days to reply to you. We will try to respond before 20
working days where possible. We will therefore supply the information/data
you have requested as soon as possible.  This will be no later than 4
October 2013, which is in accordance with the FOIA and EIR. 

 

Regards

Dear Environment Agency,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Environment Agency's handling of my FOI request 'River Gipping diversion'.

I am seeking an internal review please. This could be extremely interesting as if the river has not been legally extinguished it must be re-instated and that could be very significant in a court case I have against DEFRA/EA. I would suggest you pass this to your legal department.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/r...

Yours faithfully,

Peter Turtill
