Hi Andy,

Just a reminder to call Ian at Stallan Brand. Eastwood was discussed at our board this week and I suggested you would be looking to organise a Steering Group in the near future. On that subject, if you would like me to organise it I would be happy to if you are struggling administratively.

All the best,
Anthony

Good afternoon

I have been asked to arrange the next meeting of the above group.

I’d be obliged if you could let me know if Thursday 13th August around 11.30am would suit (after the Cabinet meeting).

Could you also send me a rough idea of your availability up to Friday 14th August in case 13th doesn’t suit and I can then look for a different date.

The meeting will take place via Teams.

Lesley

Subject: Request for Review - FOI 101002334853 - Leisure Trust - Masterplan Working Group - Brief/Plans/Progress

Chief Officer (Legal and Procurement)
Council Headquarters
Rouken Glen Road
Giffnock
G46 6UG

As instructed by Anthony McReavy, CEO, East Renfrewshire Culture & Leisure Trust(ERCLT) in their email(and letter) dated 19 October 2020 (attached) in response to my FOI request dated 2 October 2020 (attached below) and as Gerry Mahon, The Chief Officer Legal & Procurement, has previously stated that for the Council, FoI is normally a 2 stage process -

'As you will be aware the Council's response to an FOI request does not merely revolve around the initial request but also the review process. It is hoped that any human error in relation to the 1st part of the process is properly remedied at the 2nd stage.'

I wish to request said FOI review.

This is a large and complex project that has been running since 2014 with an approx cost of between £40m - £60m.

It is very difficult to believe that with a project of this size/complexity and cost, that there are only 2 emails of information held by East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure Trust.

East Renfrewshire Council tax payers must have confidence in this process and in the way it is being carried out.

This amount and complexity of information cannot just be contained in the memory of the Leisure Trust participants. It has to be recorded for reference and accuracy.

If no information is held by the Leisure Trust, how can the workings and decision making process of this group be scrutinised?

It is therefore reasonable to conclude from the attached email information from the Leisure Trust and other public available information referring to the work of the Masterplan Working Group that the Leisure Trust does hold further recorded information etc (emails/reports/documents/notes/agendas/minutes etc) regarding/in the form of -

1. Copy of versions of the Working Group Summary Update Report

2. Meeting Agendas and Minutes for at least 2 meetings held on 13 March 2020 and 13 August 2020

3. Reports from Ian Harper(as it refers to the most recent report, it is reasonable to conclude there is more than 1 report)


'I will sort out the agenda with you in due course including attaching the most recent report from Ian Harper.'


4. Specifications regarding Leisure Centre facilities


'- Ian Harper / Anthony McCreavy to determine final specification for the Leisure Centre facilities'

5. Details of focus groups/Focus Group results. Specification and results regarding focus groups.

'Focus Groups to take place for what facilities are missing / people would like to see in the new Leisure Centre – focus groups to include; pupils, parents, users of the leisure centre and non-users'

'Bring specification and results of the focus groups back to the Working Group to sign off final Leisure Centre Specification.'


6. Final Leisure Centre Specification


'Bring specification and results of the focus groups back to the Working Group to sign off final Leisure Centre Specification.'


7. As the Cabinet Committee were informed that 'fortnightly meetings have been held since then to progress the plans.'

- Please provide Agendas/minutes/notes/reports/documents/emails regarding these fortnightly meetings


'Report to Cabinet Meeting 10 September 2020 -

8. Emails to/ from Leisure Trust/Chief Executive


- Regarding meeting invitations


- Regarding responses


- Emails referring to/regarding all of the subjects(1 - 7) above.


9. I would also request that the rest of the information requested in my original FOI request is reviewed to see if it is held.


It is very difficult to believe that with a project of this size/complexity and cost, that there are only 2 emails of information held by East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure Trust.


It is very difficult to believe that with a project of this size/complexity and cost, that this amount of complex information is only held in the memory of the Leisure Trust participants.

Electronic copies are acceptable.
