WBC and the Freedom of Information Act

Monday 2nd October 2006

You may be unaware that WBC as a public body have certain responsibilites in law, one of these is covered by the Freedom of Information Act.

Earlier this year I submitted a request to the council under this act, the wording as below:

I would like to see all documents, electronic or paper based, relating to the decision by Warrington Borough Council or it's Officers or Employees to cancel Birchwood Bonfire.

I do have some of these documents in my possession, however getting blood from a stone may be easier than completing this request.. I will start to share some of the more interesting documents relating to the bonfire on here as time goes by, however in the mean time I would encourage anyone interested to copy and paste the above request to hnorris@warrington.gov.uk

I was going to link to the online form that WBC had available, only it isn't there anymore, the web page is here with further information:

Have fun.
