Looking at another's FoI request to NCC today. It's a request about what NCC is planning to do about its woeful FoI performance.
One of the things requested was as follows -
"1. Any internal correspondence it has setting out why the Council has not been meeting its statutory obligations" to which the answer beggars belief. Here's the first bit -
"In accordance with section 1 of this act this information cannot be provided as it is not held by this authority."

In the aftermath of the riots in Nottingham, Council Leader Jon Collins has sought to win some cheap political brownie points with reactionaries by seeking to evict the families of any rioters in council houses. This follows the first riot-related eviction notice given by Wandsworth Council in London on Friday. This double punishment for rioters as well as the collective punishment meted out to their families is not only wrong in itself but will create more of the resentment and social problems that sparked the riots in the first place. It is also extremely hypocritical for Jon Collins to call for the evictions of small-time looters whilst his Council has refused to investigate the misallocation of social housing to employees, relatives and friends of NCH employees in which a number of council members are implicated.

What do you think about unemployed people being forced into a full time work placement under threat of losing their benefits? Tomorrow is your opportunity to tell Baroness Stowell, a Tory peer, exactly what you think of Conservative welfarepolicies.

Following the showing of a film called 'The Pipe' at the Broadway cinema this Tuesday night, which charts the battle against Shell in Rossport, a few of us are planning a demo outside the Shell petrol station on Carlton Road this Thursday (18th Aug) at 6pm. Please bring banners and things to make noise with.
The petrol station is a 15 minute walk up Carlton Rd from the city centre. Please spread the word to anyone you think may be interested.
