Sent: Wednesday, 13 February 2013 1:02 p.m.
To: oce (CERA)
Subject: Re: Official Information Act Request

Dear oce (CERA),

By my records you were supposed to have responded to this request
by the 23rd of January, but gave yourselves an extra 20 days. This
extra 20 days is now up. Its concerns me that this is the only way
for me to find information about the future of the town hall, and
newspaper reports with CERA officials comment that a decision is
presently being made, and that you are not fulfilling your legal
obligation to respond to this in a timely way.

I would appreciate communication regarding my request promptly, and
will go to the ombudsmen if this is not forthcoming.

Yours sincerely,

Barnaby Bennett
