Knowle relocation project: latest FOI request on costs

Questions have been asked from the very beginning of the 'relocation project' about cost:
Futures Forum: Knowle: relocation... costs of borrowing...? (October 2013)
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: a further analysis of the Deputy CEO's 'Office Relocation Update' (October 2014)
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: saving energy costs - and challenging the justification to move (December 2014)
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: comparing the Sidmouth and Honiton/Exmouth options
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: further hidden costs and out-of-date documentation (January 2017)

There have been several Freedom of Information requests on the issues around cost:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: the Information Commissioner's decision notice on another Freedom of Information request: "The council’s approach was neither in the spirit nor the letter of the legislation." (May 2015)
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: What are the costs to date and what are the projected costs? (January 2017)

Some of which have been refused:
Costs of Knowle Relocation Project - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow

Some of which have been ignored:
Costs to date of Knowle, BHonito and Exmouth relocation exercise - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow

Here is the latest attempt to get some information out of the District Council:


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 and 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.
Yours faithfully,
R Thurlow
