Dear Mr Egan,

We wrote to you on 28th January 2011 asking you to deal with questions we had raised in a letter to Mr Dalton (also copied to you) as appeals against non disclosure of information under the Freedom of Information Act. We also asked you to reconsider your refusal to disclose Flood Risk Assessment reports in response to another resident�s appeal as it is clearly in the public interest that these should be disclosed.

Since that date we have only received responses from Mr Ingle, presumably on your behalf, and have recently written to him to express our dissatisfaction with his responses and considered it necessary to make a formal complaint to the Information Commissioner about the way in which our requests for information and appeals have been delayed and avoided.

We understand that the Information Commissioner has now ruled that you were wrong to refuse to disclose the report previously requested by another resident and have now seen the Halcrow report dated April 2010 which has at long last been disclosed.

We are however, aware that a number of further reports have been produced by Halcrow since that date including three reports in August 2010 and further reports this year. Will you now therefore please disclose ALL reports produced by Halcrow to date so that residents can be fully informed of the present position relating to these reports?

In view of the length of the documents requested we would prefer to receive them digitally by email to this address.

Yours sincerely,

Barbara Milner
