No Freedom of Information!

A supporter made a freedom of information request as shown below: -

Further to the proposals by the Countryside Department to use part of Bryn Euryn for grazing, I am requesting under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, to know:

The identity of all councillors as well as any other organisations who have voted on this subject.
Exactly which way each named councillor and (if applicable) non elected representative has voted.

The responce was disappointing to say the least: -

There was an informal meeting on 20th July 2009 of the Bryn Euryn Local Nature Reserve Management Advisory Group (MAG), and no formal notes / minutes are made of such informal meetings. There is, however, a completed attendance register for this meeting and the following members of the MAG were recorded as being present:

Cllr D Roberts ( Conwy County Borough Council)
Cllr M Thomas ( Conwy County Borough Council)
Cllr P Edwards ( Conwy County Borough Council)
Cllr R Parry ( Conwy County Borough Council)
Cllr P Richards ( Colwyn Bay Town Council)
Mr K Clarke ( Colwyn Bay Civic Society)
Dr J Osley (Countryside Council for Wales )
Mr I Halfpenney (Cadw)

A vote was taken as to whether or not to complete the feasibility exercise being undertaken by staff of Conwy County Borough Council’s Countryside and Rights of Way Service. No record was made of which members of the MAG voted, nor of which way individual members voted. The vote was recorded as four to three in favour of completing the feasibility exercise. In view of the concern expressed by some parts of the local community, it was also agreed to invite an appropriate community representative to the next meeting of the MAG at which the results of the feasibility exercise will be considered.

So of the seven people who voted on such an important issue the council can't remember! And they call this Management?
