Dear Mary-ann Childs,
Kia ora,
No, that’s the original OIA I submitted and have had no response to despite it being well overdue and 3 separate follow up messages. As a result I am OIA requesting that lack of acknowledgement and response with the following….
Please acknowledge if the council received follow up messages on the 29th of August, 3rd of September and the 9th of September.
Please provide all communications relating to the handling of the above request (original OIA) sent on the 31st of July.
Hope that makes sense.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
James
