Again, there is no transparency in certain responses. As I found in the first request through Freedom of Information, there is a lack of precision that leads one to think that they are covering things up. Such as: actual names of those responsible for launching the current PSPO, results of the investigation into my being harassed by dog wardens, age of those being fined in 2022.
These are public matters, so why should they not be out in the open? You and I pay taxes to this city, thus we should be able to inspect every aspect of how things are run, particularly when they go badly wrong.
I will contest these responses.
