Dear Amanda Barton,

On the 21st January I submitted an FOI request asking for the total
number of people waiting for an allotment on the sites in the
Durham District.

I am still waiting for a response. Under the Freedom of Information
Act you should have replied by now, and are breaking the law.

I would be grateful for your attention in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Margaret Campbell

Morning Margaret

Sorry for the delay.

We have 128 people on the waiting lists for our allotments.
