Freedom of Information request reference number: NY9935
I write in connection with your request for information that was received by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, Policing, Fire and Crime Directorate (PFC) on 7 September 2025.
Question/ Request:
I’d like to request the appointment diary of the York and North Yorkshire Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime from 1st January 2025 to 31st August 2025.
In the past similar information has been published on your website but this practice seems to have been discontinued
Please provide the time and date of each appointment or event, and a summary of what it was about. The estimated duration of the appointment would be appreciated if it is easily accessible.
(‘Meeting with Chief Constable’ would, for instance, be fine as a summary – I’m not looking for a detailed agenda for each appointment.)
I’m not interested in appointments where someone deputised for the Deputy Mayor. Please also indicate dates when the Deputy Mayor was on leave.
I do not wish to know the details of third parties. Where entries need to be redacted, please still provide the time and date of the appointment, as part of my research is to establish how many engagements the York and North Yorkshire Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime has had.
Answer/ Response:
To locate the information relevant to your request searches were conducted within the PFC. I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by the PFC.
We have provided a PDF copy of the Deputy Mayor’s appointments for 1 January 2025 to 31 August 2025. Please see attached document.
In line with data protection legislation, we have only provided information relating to the Deputy Mayor’s appointments. Where the appointments have personal information relating either the Deputy Mayor or to third parties, this information has been redacted.
With regards to your request for dates when the Deputy Mayor was on leave, the PFC are not obliged to provide a response to your request pursuant to section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000).
Section 17 of the Act requires the PFC, when refusing to provide such information (because the information is exempt) to provide you the applicant with a notice which: (a) states that fact, (b) specifies the exemption in question and (c) states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the exemption applies.
Section 40 – Personal Information

Releasing personal details to a person other than the data subject would breach the data subject’s Data Protection rights and breach the obligations placed on an authority under the European Convention on Human Rights.
