I got the following reply to my email. Does anyone else think there will be a charge? I am happy to pay it make them send out their decision:

Kalinski - I think that is a pretty standard letter. I work for the Met and we had a load of training when FOI came in and they send a standard letter out to all new requests.

I believe that a charge is only made if it would cost the Council money to extract the information from within the organisation this therefore should not apply in this instance as one would hope that LDC have already thought about the costs involved in the farce...

The only reason why they cannot release the info is if it falls into an exemption and the only card they could play is not in the public interest however if they did say that I think that the Information Commissioner would be interested in the case...

Easy how you go when confronting Cllr Neighbour...

Councillor arrested in beach hut fracas
From the archive, first published Monday 25th Aug 2003.

A former mayor and current serving councillor has been arrested after a beach hut fracas.

East Sussex county councillor David Neighbour was quizzed by police following the incident on Saltdean beach on Saturday.

Liberal Democrat councillor Mr Neighbour, of Central Avenue, Telscombe Cliffs, admitted to The Argus he had "thumped" two men, but insisted he was acting in self-defence.

During the row, which started over bicycles leaned against a beach hut, one of the men, Nigel Heasman, of Saltdean, said he received a cut which required seven stitches.

One onlooker, who did not want to be named, said: "There were lots of children watching who started screaming and crying."

Ken Tancred, owner of a neighbouring hut, said he intervened after his six-year-old daughter Katie became distressed.

Mr Tancred, of Rottingdean, said: "She was so upset, I went into his hut to have it out with him. I punched him in the face and he tried to hit me back."

A witness called the police, who took Mr Neighbour in for questioning before later releasing him without charge.

Mr Neighbour, who returned to the beach yesterday afternoon, said: "I was assaulted and I defended myself. I was thumped by the two men so I thumped them back.

"I don't know anything about one of them having to have stitches. The police asked me about what happened and let me go."

Mr Heasman, who said he had had to have five stitches in his ear and two just behind the ear, said: "He attacked me. It wasn't the other way round. I only hit him to fend him off."

He has given a statement to police and wants Mr Neighbour to apologise.

Sussex Police confirmed they had been called to the fight and had arrested a man.

As well as serving on the county council, Mr Neighbour, a former teacher and social worker, represents Telscombe Cliffs on Lewes District Council.

He has served as Telscombe's mayor for three terms of office and is also a member of the East Sussex Fire Authority and vice-chairman of Brighton and Lewes Community Health Council.

Is this the same David Neighbour who so spitefully stopped supporting the Albion when Archer and Bellotti were tearing it to bits?

Is this the same David Neighbour who said that the Albion made a fortune from the sale of The Goldstone and that we brought the problems on ourselves?

Is this the same David Neighbour who claims a 5-to-1 support with Lewes for the Council's actions over Falmer?

Yes, that's the very same David "Two Jabs" Neighbour.
Rather than a costy court case could we not have a boxing evening to decide the fate of the Falmer site.

John Prescott v David Neighbour?

My money's on JP.
