To Regan
It appears that you made your request to [1]www.fyi.org.nz, the
information you have requested should have been made to
[2]www.fyi.org.nz/body/nzta as the information that you have requested
relates to the State Highway.
I have looked at the [3]www.fyi.org.nz/body/nzta site and there appears to
be an initial response for you.
The official response to your request is being dealt with by our National
office in Wellington and a reply should be sent to you within the next 5
days.
Thanks

For a Roading query we are effectively the same as mdc - but the reply
will come from nzta is the way I read this - maybe go back and tell REgan
a reply is coming - seems a very roundabout way to answer a simple query

I see what's happened. Here is the website I was talking about:
[8]https://www.fyi.org.nz/
Here is the Official Information request to the Transport Agency:
[9]https://www.fyi.org.nz/body/nzta
And here is a very similar request to Marlborough District Council:
[10]https://www.fyi.org.nz/body/marlborough_...
The MDC one is the one that Regan is questioning.
Am I right in thinking we're effectively the same place? If so, someone
just needs to go back to Regan and explain that. And that his request
to MDC will be answered under the request to the Transport Agency.
Bear in mind that whatever email you send will be put up on the FYI
website.
Give me a call if any you've any further questions.
Thanks

I refer to your request of 6 November 2013 and a follow up one sent on 4
December 2013 to the Marlborough District Council email address and note
that the request, when received, was sent on to NZTA since the data
related to the State Highway network.
I am told that NZTA sent a confirmation email to you confirming they were
dealing with the request. They have also sent you, I am told, a further
acknowledgement.
