Dear Ms Campbell

Thank you for your request which is being considered. You may be aware that we have 20 working days in which to respond to FOI requests and you will therefore hear from me again by 27 February 2009 or earlier if possible.

For your information, the Act defines a number of exemptions, which may prevent release of the information you have requested. There will be an assessment and if any of the exemption categories apply then some or all of the information may not be released. You will be informed if this is the case, including your rights of appeal.

There may be a fee payable for ‘reasonable disbursement’ costs such as postage and photocopying. This will be considered and you will be informed if a fee is payable. In this event the fee must be paid before the information is processed and released. The 20 working day time limit for responses is suspended until receipt of the payment.

If you have any queries or concerns then please let me know. If you do contact us again concerning this request, please quote FOI 09-25.

Dear Ms Campbell

Further to your FOI request, under section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, I am advising you that the Council does not hold the
information which you have requested, and we are therefore unable to
supply it.

However, to assist and advise, I attach the link to our website which
details the contact details of all the parish clerks in the South Norfolk
area, who do hold information on allotments and thus should be able to
provide it to you. This would probably the best route if you are
interested in allotments in a particular parish on the district.

[1]http://www.south-norfolk.gov.uk/communit...

However if you are interested in all allotments in South Norfolk, as there
are some 119 parishes, it may take you some time to request information
from all of them. I hold an internal email address for nearly all the
parish clerks and if you feel it would be of assistance, I am happy to
forward your request to all parish clerks on email and ask them to respond
directly to you. I could then let you know which are the small number of
parishes not on email, where you will have to send a letter. Please let
me know if you would like me to pass your FOI request onto all the
parishes in South Norfolk.

I hope this is of assistance and is sufficient to meet your requirements,
but if, for whatever reason you wish to get back to me, please feel free
to do so. In particular if you are unhappy with the information provided
or how your request was handled please let me know and I will explain how
you can make a complaint to the Council.

Please quote FOI 09-25 in any further correspondence concerning this
request.

Kind regards.
