Dear Ms Berlow

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION - REQUEST FOR REVIEW - APPEAL REF NO: 000045 - REQUEST REF NO: 1437.1.1.

I have been asked to look into your request for a review of the Council's failure to respond to your Freedom of Information request made on 3 August 2009.

As a result of my initial enquiries, it appears that the Council has now responded to your Freedom of Information request.

Can I apologise for the fact that the Council failed to respond within the required 20 working days. I am assuming that the information we have now provided answers the questions in your original request. If this is not the case, and you wish to proceed with your review request, perhaps you could get back to me and let me know exactly which element(s) of your original enquiry you are dissatisfied with.

If you are not content with the outcome of the review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for an independent review. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: -

Information Commissioner's Office,

Wycliffe House,

Water Lane,

Wilmslow,

Cheshire,

Yours sincerely

Chris Davies
