Kia ora John

 

To enable a response to your request, the council would appreciate clarification of what you mean by the following statement:

 

2. Has the council received any objection for removing the statue? If yes, please provide the details.

 

The Council is able to collate the number of complaints received via the call centre and objections received through our social media platforms and private messages.

 

Is that what you require?

 

If you want deeper detail then this, it will be very difficult to meet without substantial collation or research. This includes the data extraction and collation of individual complaints, and the redaction of these to protect the privacy of individuals.  

 

Unless your request is amended, we may have to refuse that part of your request it under section 17(f) of the LGOIMA, which applies where the information cannot be made available without substantial collation or research.

 

Please let me know before 6 November 2020 whether you are prepared to amend or clarify your request and, if so, how. Ideally, this would be restricting the scope of the requested information to the number of complaints, not the compilation of individual complaints.

 

Please note, if you do amend or clarify your request, this will be considered to be a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory timeframe for response—see section 13(7) of the LGOIMA. The Council will, however, respond as soon as practicable.

 

 

Regards,

 

 

 

 

Kia ora

Please be advised that your request has been passed on to the relevant team within Council and you will be informed of the outcome.

 

The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 requires that we advise you of our decision on whether the Council will provide the requested information or not “as soon as reasonably practicable”, no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
