So, I finally got round to writing to the Information Commissioner...

Having exhausted the Town Council's processes, I wish to refer this case to yourselves.

A supporting document was omitted from a Council Meeting Agenda Pack lodged in the local library (and was not available for members of the public at the meeting).

I requested a copy and was advised that I could see it during the accounts inspection window at a later date. I considered this to be unsatisfactory as the inspection opportunity commenced on a date later than the response deadline and it would of course involve considerable inconvienience to myself, including loss of annual leave time.

I referred the matter for internal review and was advised that the review panel considered the document as draft and therefore not for public circulation (despite being presented at a full open Council meeting without exclusion of the public).

I attach your standard form and a screen scrape of the correspondence- it can also be found at http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/missing_agm_document_in_library#incoming-195035

Thank you,
Ian Grey
