Internal Review of Thefreedom of Information Act/ Environmental Information Regulations

Dear MrTaylor,

Internal Review of theFreedom of Information Act/ Environmental Information Regulations request reference: LBH/2986914

Thank you for giving us an opportunity to review the response we have sent to your Freedom of Information / Environmental Information Regulations request.

Your original request submitted on 29 April was for :

“...a detailed budget for both the recent Green Lanes regeneration project and the Outer London Fund grant that was awarded to the area.

I would like to be able to determine the budgeted and actual costs relating to any and all of the inputs to the schemes mentioned. For example, the costs of paving, lighting, new shopfronts, architectural fees etc.”

The response of 29 May provided the overall figures but not the detail you had requested.

On 3 June you responded as follows:

“Unfortunately the core aspect of the request appears to have been overlooked or ignored.

I had asked for a detailed breakdown of the budgets so that I would...

"... be able to determine the budgeted and actual costs relating to any and all of the inputs to the schemes mentioned. For example, the costs of paving, lighting, new shopfronts, architectural fees etc."

What I have received is the widely publicised overall budget figure.”

We therefore accepted this as an Internal Review of the previous response.

The level of detail provided in the original response was thought to be sufficient for your request however did not include the level of detail that you had requested, and for this I apologise on behalf of the service.

Further detailed breakdown is provided below.

Green Lanes Corridor Scheme

A detailed breakdown of budget and spend is provided below. In addition, please find enclosed to this response the quantified pricing document as submitted by Ringway Jacobs in accordance with LOHAC framework agreement protocol. The value of works totalled £767,349.

OLF2 Programme

A detailed breakdown of budget and spend is provided below. As noted previously, the Green Lanes OLF2 programme has not yet completed. We are therefore only able to provide actual spend in 2012/13 and 2013/14. Following the erection of scaffolding at each property, and closer inspection, there has been a degree of remeasurement of the tendered Bill of Quantities, spend on provisional sums, and unforeseen additional works required. Following completion of the project, we would be happy to provide the final schedule of works should this be requested.

Please note, following further analysis of actual spend, it has come to light that the figures provided in the earlier response did not reconcile fully with our SAP accounting system. The above figures therefore may differ slightly to those provided in the previous response. I am bringing this to your attention to avoid any confusion that this could bring.

I hope that you are satisfied with my response to the Internal Review. If you are dissatisfied, you may complain to the Information Commissioner, who may be able to help you. Please note that if you wish to refer this case to the Information Commissioner, they ask that you do so within two months of our response to you.
