Dear Greater London Authority,
 
I am writing to request the following information.

2. RBK entered into an The finalised bid for Housing Zone funding submitted by Royal Borough of Kingston (RBK) at the end of 2016(OBA) with the GLA in December 2016,  which confirmed the allocation of the Housing Zone funding. Please provide a copy of that Agreement.

Please provide a copy of those Agreements and any documents RBK provided in support of, or to help negotiate, said Agreements.
 
Please note it is my position that this request engages my Article 10 right to access information, as upheld by the European Court of Human Rights in Magyar Helsinki Bizottság v. Hungary (2016), as I am seeking this information in the capacity of a public watchdog (i.e. a blogger and campaigner for some years on the subject of council housing) in order to share it with others, to provide transparency on the manner of conduct of public affairs and on matters of interest for society as a whole and thereby enable participation in public governance by the public at large on matters of public interest. As such, the only valid exemptions for refusing to provide the information are those set out in Article 10(2) and in order to comply with s3 and s6 Human Rights Act 1998 you should either interpret Freedom of Information Act 2000 in a way so as to uphold my Article 10 rights, or deal with my request outside of FOIA using any other powers you have to disclose information, as provided for by s78 FOIA.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.
