Here's a disappointing but not unexpected "no" for a BCCDIY hack day
to be part of Hello Digital. My quickly-drafted application is also
below.

Interesting that there looks like there's going to be some kind of
consultation. If I find out anything I'll put it out online.

Dear Stef,

Thank you for your application to be part of the Hello Digital Fringe
programme. Sophia Tarr has been trying to contact you by phone but has
been unable to make contact.

Birmingham City Council is currently setting up a programme of engagement
with the public to improve its new website and will be inviting you to take
part in this exercise, rather than duplicating effort. I am sure you will
agree that constructive involvement in the improvement of the
Birmingham.gov site will be of public benefit and I hope you will take this
opportunity to work with us.

In this context we have decided not to include your project in the Hello
Digital Fringe. I am sorry to have to write with disappointing news. If
you have any questions, please contact Sophia Tarr, Festivals & Initiatives
Manager on 012-1464 9675.

With best wishes,

Val Birchall
