Dear Mr Majothi

Thank you for your email below
dated 5/10/15 at 09.53

I sent you this clarification on
the Friday 2nd October at 17.11:

“Dear Mr Majothi

As long as all the extra work/project delays
are identified, the costs can be calculated and independently audited.

I am very keen to protect the public purse;
always have been.

I recall the A6 bypass when costs rose from
£179m to £1billion over a short space of time, and Councillor Derbyshire
et al were completely unconcerned by this. Evidence available on request

Sheila”

I look forward to your supplying the
information requested.

Kind regards

Sheila

Dear FoI Officers

Please may I see the master matrix detailing the project
change orders of the A6 MARR. I am, as you know, concerned about cost
overruns and how the council taxpayers of Cheshire East, Manchester and
Stockport will be able to afford them.

Kind regards

Sheila



Failure of SMBC to understand a FOIA question

Dear Mr Majothi

Thank you for your reply, which
seems to have missed the entire nature of the question.

Obviously Stockport Council had no
involvement or dealings regarding the sale of the MOD oil pipeline – why would
they?

My question was:

Please
let me have all emails/minutes of meetings/hand written notes of
meetings/telephone conversations or any written information pertaining to
the current situation regarding the proposed diversion of the Bramhall Oil
Terminal former MOD aviation oil pipeline to facilitate construction of the A6
MARR.”

I look forward to your response
answering the actual question asked.

Yours

Sheila

Dear
Mrs Oliver,

Following
your request of the 3rd September, I note you have referenced https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mod-sells-the-government-pipeline-and-storage-system-for-82-million

I
can confirm that Stockport Council’s representatives have no involvement or dealings
with OPA with respect to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) signing a contract to
sell the Government Pipeline and Storage System to Compañía Logística de
Hidrocarburos. Therefore there are no emails/minutes of meetings/hand written
notes of meetings/telephone conversations or any written
information pertaining to this matter as Stockport Council’s
representatives dealings with OPA have been with regard to the pipeline
diversion to facilitate the construction of the A6MARR.

Yours
sincerely,
