Dear The English Heritage Trust, Is the view of Stonehenge from the A303 of cultural value? Yours faithfully, N R Swift, Heritage Journal, 13 July
Dear Mr Swift, Thank you for your email on 13 July, in which you asked to know ‘Is the view of Stonehenge from the A303 of cultural value?’ Having considered this for you, I can confirm that this is not a Freedom of Information request. Yours sincerely Frances Gibbons Senior Information Rights Officer
Dear The English Heritage Trust, Thank you for your previous response. I’m sorry you judge that the question was not a Freedom of Information request since it was a request for information. However, you do have an opinion on the importance of the view of Stonehenge may I please re-draft my request? “Since the first line of your page about Stonehenge you opine that Stonehenge is a “must-see monument” is it also your position that the view of Stonehenge from the A303 is of cultural value? Yours faithfully, Nigel Swift 1st September.
Response awaited.

To be fair to them, a FOI request needs to be based on fact, not opinion and the merits of a view are a person’s opinion.

Agreed, but English Heritage must have an opinion else how could they have a stance?
