Dear Sir or Madam,

Re: Overdue FOI Request

On December 23rd I submitted the following request for information:

"As of December 2008, please could you tell me:

1) How many allotment sites are there in the Council area for which
the council has access to waiting list data?

2) How many plots are on these sites in total?

3) In total, how many people are on these waiting lists for an
allotment?

5) How many sites are there in total in the Council area?"

By law, the response had to be prompt but no later than 26 January
2009. Under the Freedom of Information Act you should have replied
by now, and are breaking the law.

I would be grateful if you could give this a prompt response.

Yours sincerely,

Margaret Campbell
