This request is made under both FoI and ERA regimes.

I understand that the Task and Finish Forum investigation into the
affairs of the East Devon Business Forum have been delayed.

Can you please provide me with:

internal and external advisors) who were asked by EDDC officers or
members for advice regarding the Task and Finish Forum
investigation into the East Devon Business Forum.

requests.

Yours faithfully,

P Freeman

Task and Finish Forum'.

or form.

Can you now please:

1. Provide the information requested.

2. Explain why you provided an answer which does not address the
questions asked?

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is

Correspondence re. Graham Brown between EDDC and Devon & Cornwall Police

P Freeman made this Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council

Currently waiting for a response from East Devon District Council, they must respond promptly and normally no later than 15 December 2014 (details).



From: P Freeman

Dear East Devon District Council,

In his (open) letter to Councillors earlier this week regarding
Devon & Cornwall Police dropping their investigation into alleged
corruption by ex-Cllr Graham Brown, Mr Williams stated that both
Cllr Claire Wright and the East Devon Alliance had been in
correspondence with the police. Since this information was not part
of the official announcement by Devon & Cornwall Police it must
therefore have been part of a direct communication from D&CP to
EDDC.

Now that the police investigation is officially complete, can you
please provide copies of all correspondence relating to Graham
Brown between:

1. EDDC (including Mark Williams) and Devon and Cornwall Police;

2. EDDC and Action Fraud.

Yours faithfully,

P Freeman
