Dear Ian Sanderson
Thank you for your Freedom of Information, received by North Lincolnshire
Council on the 11th March requesting information as shown;
I would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of
Information Act, details in respect of Town Funds Board meetings that have
taken place, including ordinary and extraordinary with full committee or
sub committees with dates.
Also all meetings where decisions have been taken.
Copies of all minutes, including unpublished.
The information you have requested is possibly exempt from disclosure
under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) with the application of an
exemption that requires us to carry out a 'Public Interest Test'.
This is a process that considers whether the public interest in
withholding the information is greater than that in releasing it. The FOIA
allows organisations an additional twenty working days to carry out this
process. We hope to provide you with a decision by 9th May.
If you are unhappy about how we have dealt with your request please let me
know and I will refer the matter to the council's [1]Information
Complaints Policy. Alternatively you can complain using the council's
[2]online complaint form on the Contact Us page of the North Lincolnshire
Council website.
Kind Regards
Harry Scott

Dear North Lincolnshire Council,
I do not believe any exemption applies. These minutes should be public record. I await your response by 9th May.

Dear North Lincolnshire Council,
On 14th May 2024 you replied to say that the minutes are published online and provided a hyperlink.
However the request was made on 11th March 2024. The website refers to 2 further meetings due to take place on 13th October 2023 and 8th December 2023. Where are those minutes. It was widely publicised in the media that the Town Funds were used to fund the Scunthorpe United Stadium and grounds at Gland ford park. Where are those minutes? It looks like there would have been another meeting in February 2024. Minutes of 3 ordinary minutes seems to be missing as well as any extraordinary one. Please provide those otherwise I will escalate with the ICO.
Before I report to the ICO- I seek an internal review and this is a formal complaint.
Yours faithfully,
Ian Sanderson
