Freedom of Information


I have submitted another Freedom of Information request to South Lanarkshire Council - details of which are set out in the attached letter to the council chief executive, Lindsay Freeland.

I have to say I'm amazed that this information is not already in the public domain - either from  the Council directly or the trade unions who have a right to be consulted on such matters.

Surely union members would want answers to these points before agreeing to any changes - being proposed by the Council?  

So, if readers in South Lanarkshire can throw any light on the subject - drop me a note, in confidence, to: markirvine@compuserve.com

Dear Mr Freeland

FOISA Request

I refer to my letter dated 13 May 2013 would like to make the following related but separate requests under the Freedom of Information Scotland Act (FOISA) 2002.
  1. Please confirm the effect on average pay in respect of each role that is being reviewed, re-evaluated or re-graded? 
  2. Please confirm the date on which any changes will take effect arising from the proposed reviews, re-evaluations or re-gradings?
  3. Please confirm the details of any proposals to protect the pay of those who will lose pay following the proposed reviews, re-evaluations or re-gradings? 
  4. Please confirm the length of the pay protection arrangements? 
I would be grateful if you treat each of these requests as separate requests under FOISA 2002. 

I look forward to your reply and would ask that you respond to me by e-mail at: markirvine@compuserve.com

Kind regards


Mark Irvine

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
