Dear Sir or Madam,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Camden Borough
Council's handling of my FOI request '24 Hour Off Licences in
Camden'.

I have been waiting for a response for nearly three months, which
is totally unacceptable.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:

Dear Mr Jackson,

Re: FOI request: 24 hour off licenses in L.B. of Camden (ref: 5509041)

Firstly, may I apologise for the unreasonable delay in responding to your
initial enquiry (9th September 2009), this was an unfortunate
administrative oversight.

Attached is a list of the premises that have an alcohol licence for 24
hours for at least one day of the week within the L.B. Camden.

I trust this information is sufficient, for future reference you can
search our licensing register [1]www.camden.gov.uk/licensingregister for
further information and licensed premises.

Kind regards

Dear Oliver Jackson

I refer to my acknowledgement email of 1 December 2009 and note that a
reply was sent to you yesterday by Ms Redfern of the Culture and
Environment department answering your original request for information. I
note the reply was 'late'.

Please let me know therefore whether you are now satisfied with the reply
or whether you still wish the Panel to consider your request further (in
which case can you kindly inform the Panel accordingly and give reasons
why you remain dissatisfied.

Many thanks

Dear Kathryn Redfern,

Thank you for your reply. Please can you confirm that there are
currently only two 24 hour off licences in the London Borough of
Camden? According to the statistics that you submitted to the
Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), there are seven
premises licences to sell alcohol 24 hours a day for consumption
off premises (two large supermarkets and five smaller convenience
stores). Did you forget to send me the complete list of 24 hour off
licences in Camden?

Yours sincerely,

Oliver Jackson

Dear Oliver,

I can confirm that the data you have been provided with is correct. We
recently undertook extensive data cleansing of our records, removing
obsolete records and I can confirm that there are only two 24 off-licences
in Camden and both of these are held by Sainsbury's.

There are a few other premises within Camden that have a 24 hour alcohol
licence, including 3 nightclubs/bars and one hotel.

Kind regards,
