Stockport Council News

It is not just me who is allegedly “vexatious” for asking about the dangerous, fraudulently built, on brown asbestos, with funding adrift by millions of pounds Vale View School. Famous and dogged FOI campaigner Mr Alan Dransfield is naughtily “vexatious” too, according to Khan, Council Monitoring Officer.

“Dear Mr Khan

In your last letter to me you have relied on section 14 (1) vexatious and repeated requests as justification for your refusal. You also claim “numerous ” FOIA requests from me has justified your vexatious decision.

Please provide me with a firm record of ALL my FOIA requests to you and if necessary please treat this as a NEW FOIA request in the last 24 months.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield”

Further information is (surprisingly) coming to light about the playing fields at North Reddish.
I have today received the following:-

“Dear Mrs Oliver,

I am writing in response to your request for information (ref FOI 7565).

The relevant Council Service(s) has searched for the requested information and our response is as follows.

3.2.18 The Council, in conjunction with Reddish North End Football Club,
has been awarded a grant of £0.418m from Football Foundation towards a new
Multi-use Games Area at Reddish. The Council will provide £0.06m Formal Sports Commuted Sum and NHS will provide a further £0.003m.

The answer is: at the former Fir Street Nursery Site.”

So, mystery remains regarding the work currently going on at the Harcourt Street
on what would be the replacement playing fields were there any white lines or goalposts in
situ. Sadly, I am not allowed to ask what is being done, as it would, I am led to believe,
be vexatious.

Unless, of course, Derbyshire, Weldon, Khan, Boylan et al have a change of heart
and decide to respond.
