Allotment waiting list data

For the attention of Margaret Campbell

I write in reply to your e-mail dated 30 January 2009, as below, quoting
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000 and asking for information
relating to Allotments, as at January 2009.

You asked a number of questions:

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

2) In total, how many plots are on these sites?

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

4) Are any of these waiting lists closed to further applications?

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

I am afraid that I cannot provide answers to your questions as Mid Devon
District Council is not responsible for allotments and we do not hold
the information requested.

By way of providing advice and assistance, I can tell you that in this
area, it is Town and Parish Councils who would administer allotments.
Can I suggest that you make your enquires to these organisations. A list
of contact names and addresses is available on the Mid Devon Website at
http://www.middevon.gov.uk/index.cfm?art....

By providing this information, I believe that I have now dealt with your
request, in so far as I am able, in accordance with the FOI Act and I
will now close this request (our reference FOI-00589).

If you are dissatisfied with the response you have received and wish to
request a review of the decision, or make a complaint about how your
request has been handled, please write to: Customer Services, Mid Devon
District Council, Phoenix House, Phoenix Lane, Tiverton, Devon EX16 6PP
and state your reasons.

Alternatively, you may complete the online complaint/appeal form -
details of which can be found on the Council Website at
www.middevon.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=....

Please note that your request for internal review should be submitted to
us within 40 working days of receipt by you of this response. Any such
request received after this time will not be considered.

If your complaint/appeal is not resolved to your satisfaction, you have
the right to apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision. (The
contact details for the Information Commissioner can be found at
www.ico.gov.uk/Global/contact_us.aspx).

Yours sincerely
