Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: and the Exeter bus station project >>> Tribunal case put on hold
It's particularly difficult to get any information out of the District Council on its vanity project:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: What are the costs to date and what are the projected costs?
The East Devon Watch blog asks why:
EDDC HOLDS UP FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST ON HQ RELOCATION
15 MAR 2017
It seems EDDC is VERY reluctant to answer any FoI requests relating to relocating its HQ:
What’s the problem? It can’t be the old chestnut “commercial confidentiality” as the project has not been tendered so there is no outside commercial involvement.
Requests now cover not only Knowle but also the massive cost overrun at Exmouth and the added costs of relocating the Estates Department to Manstone Depot.
From one HQ to an HQ and two satellites. All against a background of massively increasing costs, decreasing availability of skilled labour and no plan for how it will be financed after PegasusLife failed to get its planning permission.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds already spent (excluding officer costs which are never added in), expensive days in court losing to the Information Commissioner.
What is being concealed?
