NLC and FOI



Here's my latest FOI request to North Lanarkshire Council and it will be interesting to see how NLC responds given the Council recent comments about bearing in mind my recent criticism of its performance pay or bonus scheme for senior officials.  


Gavin Whitefield
Chief Executive
North Lanarkshire Council

BY E-MAIL TO: whitefieldg@northlan.gov.uk

 Dear Mr Whitefield

FOISA Request 

I would like to make the following request under the Freedom of Information Scotland Act 2002:

1 I refer to North Lanarkshire Council's Annual Accounts for 2014/15 and specifically the section dealing with 'Exit Packages' on Page 85. 

2 Please provide me with a breakdown of the cost of the Exit Package on that page which is reported as costing a total of £218,000. 

3 In doing so please explain why the £218,000 figure is so much higher than the cost of the pension lump sum due to the Council's chief executive which is reported on Page 85 of the same document as £196,220 (excluding an annual pension of £79,300).

I look forward to your reply and would be grateful if you could respond to me by e-mail to: markirvine@compuserve.com
    
Kind regards

Mark Irvine

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

Hi. https://t.co/yuA2cY109e — Brian Spusk (@BrianSpanner1) December 16, 2022 Brian Spanner (aka Brian Spusk) shares a tweet from the SNP's chief executive and husband of SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon) criticising secretive party donations. What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
