WhatDoTheyKnow?

Dear Mr King

I refer to your request submitted on 15th April. I regret that there has been considerable disruption to our FOI service as a result of an accident to our FOI Officer on the weekend of 19 April, as a result of which he is likely to be off work for several months.

This matter is now being attended to and you should receive the information , unless the information is exempt (or provision would exceed the costs limit) or we require additional time to consider whether disclosure is in the public interest in accordance with section 10(3) of the Act.
Cardiff Council's policy is to carry out the spirit and requirements of the Freedom of Information Act in a manner which:
- recognizes the duty to inform as the essential principle underlying the legislation;
- discloses to requesters the maximum information possible which is not injurious to the public and private interests identified in the exemptions in the Act and does so in the most timely and consistent manner given the nature and scope of the request;
- ensures that fees permitted under the Act are kept to an absolute minimum whilst safeguarding our position as a non-profit making repayment department
We will try to supply information in electronic format by email, but if this is not possible we will let you know. If you have any special requirements e.g. language, audio, large print, etc. please let us know.
The Act defines a number of exemptions which may prevent the release of information. If any exemptions apply to your information request they will be considered prior to disclosure. If any of the exemption categories do apply an explanation for non-disclosure will be included in the Decision Notice response you will receive, included in this notice is your right to appeal against our decision.
If the information you request contains reference to a third party then they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken on whether or not to release the information to you. We will keep you informed if this issue arises.
If you have any queries or concerns regarding the FOIA please do not hesitate to contact me.
