With reference to redaction, and no offence intended to the reader, this is explained below:

redact (rɪˈdækt)
vb (tr)
1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) to compose or draft (an edict, proclamation, etc)
2. (Literary & Literary Critical Terms) to put (a literary work, etc) into appropriate form for publication; edit

The objective with this request is purely based on obtaining transparency and reinforcing integrity where the Corporation is concerned with such serious matters etc.

I.e. proof of police involvement, and submissions put forward by assessors to the Corporation that were considered and subsequently used for Justification with initial refusal based on safety grounds.

I reiterate references to identity of any individual or business to be redacted.

Yours sincerely,

Anthony Jordan
