Knowle relocation project: What are the costs to date and what are the projected costs?

Apparently the latest episode in prevarication over publishing information on the relocation project didn't cost the District Council anything:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: "Everything that happens at Knowle obviously costs us absolutely nothing!"

On the other hand, it is clear that the actual project is costing something - the only problem is that, again, the District Council won't say how much it's costing:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: further hidden costs and out-of-date documentation

And when it does say how much, it's not clear at all if it's being well-spent:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: throwing good money after bad >>> How the Honiton and Exmouth HQs will not improve on the current HQ

The EDW blog comments on the latest attempt to get some proper answers on costs from the District Council:

KNOWLE RELOCATION COSTS: IT’S UP TO US TO CHECK AS COUNCILLORS DON’T GET THE INFORMATION

30 JAN 2017

And this is how we do it (whilst we have a Freedom of information Act):

“Dear East Devon District Council,

I would like to make a formal request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am also making this Request under the Environmental Impact Regulations 2004 which require disclosure on the part of Local Authorities.

Please let me have the costs to date of the Knowle relocation project, to include all preliminary pre “moving decision” costs, and subsequent costs of all work associated with the intended reallocation, including those at The Knowle, Manstone, the intended Honiton site and Exmouth Town Hall

I should also like to know the current projected costs of the Exmouth Town Hall move, (including all associated costs such as moving, staff compensation and travel costs and fitting out costs), and for Honiton and costs associated with the “mothballing” of various parts of the Knowle contingent upon the intended relocation of 90 staff to Exmouth.”

And if they say they can’t tell us how much it has cost so far …..
