The second part is kind of irrelevant in terms of how the FOI request works. (It was also wrong. No developer had disclosed information. I think they got confused). The first part is key. They couldn't deny discussions, because they had happened. They can withhold information in certain...

Yes, but I do believe the council has an opportunity to benefit from Leamington FC moving. They want to convert the club's existing home into a traveller site.

Haha. Warwick DC did ask for guidance on size - but that was only because of the plans for a new home for Leamington FC.

That's the beauty of the FOI Act for us journalists. This is how Nuneaton and Bedworth chose to respond last time: “From time to time the planning service receives confidential consultations on draft proposals prior to the receipt of formal planning applications. Often these enquiries do not...

Commercially sensitive information does not have to be disclosed - but the organisation would have to state that it was refusing to disclose the information for that reason. That did not happen in the responses we received. All organisations categorically dismissed taking part in any...

I spoke with Tim Fisher about this piece 15mins before the "plan" was published. I didn't know it existed until Tim told me at the end of our conversation that it would be going up. Coincidence in this instance.

We received extremely clear responses to all of the requests. There was no withholding information due to "commercial sensitivity". All organisations categorically denied talks with anyone over construction of a large sports stadium. Quite different to withholding information.

The FA are unlikely to ever comment on what they perceive to be an issue for the Football League. The club has a deal in place which allows them to play in Coventry for the next four years. I'm sure the FL will see this as the ideal response to any stadium questions - at least until a preferred...

I approached him. Many were asking what the council's stance was now ACL had been sold and whether Wasps would help to develop land around the Ricoh. As the man responsible for the city's "Local Plan" he was the obvious candidate to speak with. He addressed both issues, but whether you are...

Our requests were made on November 27 - that gave them 20 working day to reply. The date covered was the 12 months prior to November 27. Previous FOIs have gone further back, I think we've covered roughly the past two years through similar requests now.

Granted - it's pretty similar, but there are a couple more organisations on the list now our FOIs have been included - Environment Agency and Dept for Culture, Media and Sport. We have been submitting regular FOIs, and I believe the Trust have adopted a similar strategy. We ran a similar story...

They're usually on, but you have to actively turn them on before you publish. That's down to the news / web editors. I suspect someone hasn't ticked the box, or due to the fact we're on a skeleton staff at the minute, didn't want the hassle of monitoring them - which is usually very...

I asked for response to that, yes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm actually off until Jan 2 now. Was working briefly yesterday though! There's a couple more CCFC stories written and ready for publishing. Not sure when they'll go up though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Council's business chief Coun Kevin Maton says council will work with Wasps to develop Ricoh land: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/business-chief-insists-wasps-work-8337784 Although there's no timeframe... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you think I get to decide what goes on the back page, you are forgetting my tea-boy status. As I have said on here before, I don't think that's a fair comparison. Perhaps the Gillingham fixture would have been more appropriate. But I can understand why people would make that comparison, and...

I have. All I will say is that they're valued customers...

A neutral once visited this message board to see what all the commotion was about. He gave me this description "I have never seen a group of people so eager to believe a conspiracy." It's at times like this I'm inclined to agree!
