ALMONDSBURY PARISH COUNCIL

Re my post on the 31 July regarding the Information Commissioner's Decision Notice, issued to Almondsbury Parish Council on the 28 July 2009. A formal complaint was made to South Gloucestershire Council on the 8 August.

"That Executive Member Councillor Sheila Cook, in her capacity as the former Chair of Almondsbury Parish Council, following my request under the Freedom of Information Act to the Parish Council on the 2 February 2009, did ignore my request, and did ignore correspondence from the Information Commissioner’s Office, all as stated in their Decision Notice under reference FS50237638 dated the 28 July 2009", and further "that in my opinion this was conduct contrary to law and unbecoming an elected member of a Parish Council within South Gloucestershire, and conduct unbecoming an Executive Member of South Gloucestershire Council".

The complaint has been acknowledged and referred to the Assessment Sub Committee of the Standards Committee on the 28 August. We await their deliberations.
