Letter to Clerk of Maltby Town Council in response to information request from them :

Dear Ann Stewart, Clerk and RFO and MALTBY TOWN COUNCIL,

In response to your email of  Wed, 6 Jun 2012 14:04:05 please send me a                 copy of the minute of 19th April showing the meeting date change. In reply to your questions

1. I received the information “on the grapevine”

2. It is not the role of MTC or it’s clerk to ask me whether I have received permission from anyone for anything.

I do not need to request information from MTC under the Freedom of Information Act or any other act or council rule to write a blog, a letter or a book as I choose.

I am a member of the public and electorate,  not a councillor and am therefore accountable only to myself.

As a gesture of goodwill I have amended my blog post, which can be found here

Well, if they had only said that in the first place … … …  !
