Email sent to the ICO – 24 August 2009 17:03

Dear Mr Dunn

Many thanks for your response. I will get back to you should it be necessary. I really don’t want to waste any of your time – I appreciate all that the ICO does.

Regarding Harcourt Street, because of financial irregularities, in line with the Council’s Fraud and Irregularity Policy, apparently they shouldn’t have hidden any documents regarding Harcourt Street – certainly not all the financial ones – so they have completely wasted the ICO’s time again on that topic. I am going to the Audit Commission – one financial irregularity of many would appear to include a miscalculation of a quarter of a million pounds. Only in Stockport, eh!

Kind regards

Sheila

Case Reference Number FS50247042

Dear Mrs Oliver

I have returned from annual leave and there are 6 pieces of correspondence appended to the above case reference, on a variety of subjects. I have itemised below each piece of correspondence and provided an update as to how it is being treated.

Case reference FS50247042 deals with your request to ‘see complaints made by Alison Davies against SMBC’. You requested an internal review of the SMBC response in your email of 15/07/09 (after some clarification had been provided).

Item 1 – email from you to SMBC dated 09/08/09 is a reminder requesting the outcome of the internal review.

Item 2 – SMBC confirmed the outcome of the internal review on 18/08/09 and you responded with an email questioning the independence of the individual who carried out the review.

Item 3 – SMBC confirmed the outcome of the internal review on 18/08/09 and you responded by asking why the request was deemed vexatious.

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of an internal review you can ask us to look into the matter further. In the absence of such a request I have no option to assume that the response from SMBC has satisfied your request for information and the case will remain closed.

Item 3 above also contains a reference to a Serious Case Review and a request by you to see any documents prepared by SMBC following that review. In line with other instances where you have confirmed a course of action you have taken, this information will be held on file for information only.

Item 4 – email from you to SMBC regarding the Harcourt Site, this has been copied into case reference FS50205853 which deals with Harcourt Site issues.

Item 5 – email from you to SMBC in connection with the treatment of ‘Mr Parnell’. In line with my previous correspondence dated 20/07/09 this information will be held on file for information only.

Item 6 – email from you to SMBC regarding a request for a report presented to SMBC concerning MS Davies. SMBC have confirmed they ‘do not hold’ the information you requested and in line with other such instances the information will be retained on file for information only.

Please confirm how you wish to proceed in respect of the outcome of the internal review conducted in connection with case reference number FS50247042.

Yours sincerely

Jim Dunn
