We will be holdingother fund raising events throughout the yearand look forward to the same successApplications for financial help will beconsidered Telephone TreasurerCynthia Mitchell on 856191We asked the above question in our JuneIssue and have not yet received an answer,however the plot thickens!Mrs Anne Steele wrote to the Parish Councilasking where the Tubs, Pots etc were andreceived no answer. She then wrote to theCommissioner for Freedom of InformationAct who instructed the Council to replywithin the statutory 20 days. Of course trueto form the council did not respond. Insteadthey wrote to the Commissioner the followingletter. (spelling and grammar not ours!) :-"Mr Ivatts,In response to this ongoing complaint I writeto you now with a Refusal Notice with theexemptions mentioned under the Act.Firstly I wanted to ask you that if on bothoccassions the Council did not constitue aproper refusal notice then by definition doesthis mean that it must do so once using theproper guide and then re-consider its decsionbecasue that was a valid one. If that is thecase then this would constitute thatfirst Refusal. If not however and in relationto the letter dated 13th April and Q1 thisCouncil would apply S22 exemption. Theinformation that has been quoted here isinfact incorrect through no fault of theCouncil but the receipt was incorrectlyworded and so cannot comment on somethingthat it knows is wrong.The receipt has since been ammended andgiven to this Council and it will publish thisin its next Newsletter and so branding thisinformation as a future publication”.If you can make sense of that gobbledygook thenyou may have gathered that the council is trying tosay that the receipts for the tubs and pots were incorrectlyworded; however the wording seems okayto us.The council apparently sent Councillor Stanway tospeak to Mr Wood at hisMottram shop to persuade him to write a letter tothe effect that he had made out the receipts wrongly.On speaking to Mr Wood, he said that he had notsupplied the tubs, pots etc but had only plantedthem. This explanation however raises a number ofquestions such as :-1) Where were the tubs, pots hayracks etc. bought.2 )If the tubs cost £12.95 each to be planted and thepots £15.75 to be planted , then logically the potsmust be bigger than the tubs!!!3) At £25.00 per hayrack, these must be bigger thanthe tubs and pots4) Finally, where are these hugeplanters ?Find the Pots CompetitionA £10 prize will be given toanyone who can find the pots ortell us where we can see themMrs Steele has still not received an answer toher query and the council has not published its“amended”
