FOI

Several requests have been made in Open Forum and over a month later, when a response was requested, the requester was told that an Open forum request was technically NOT a Freedom of Information request and had to be resubmitted. It was resubmitted and no reply was ever forthcoming. Freedom of Information requests are best made online and saved seperately on your computer for later reference. The City hopes that over time you will have moved on to other topics or have forgotten the original request. Thats why saving it on your computer before sending it works best. The City is considerably behind already.
