Dear Rochdale Borough Council,
I wrote on the 4th January requesting data on RBC allotment waiting
lists (see below). I haven't yet had a respose to this, even though
by law, the authority should normally have responded promptly and
by 1 February 2010. I would be very grateful if you could follow
this up.
My request was as follows:
"1) How many allotment sites are there in the council area for
which the Council has access to waiting list data?
2) What is the total number of plots on these sites?
3) What is the total number of people on waiting lists for these
sites?
4) Are any of these waiting lists closed to further applications?
5) How many new council allotment sites were brought into use in
2009? Please give:
a) number of new sites
b) names of new sites
c) total area of new land in hectares
d) total number of new plots"

Dear Raz Sajid ,
Re: Freedom of Information request - 69.10
Many thanks for that.
I assume from your figures you therefore have waiting list data on
26 sites (232 people waiting). Could you please let me know the
answer to question 2 - how many plots are there on these 26 sites?
Many thanks,
Margaret Campbell

Dear Rochdale Borough Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Rochdale Borough
Council's handling of my FOI request 'Allotment waiting lists'.
I have had a response which contained some of the information I
requested, but other data (specifically " how many plots there are
on allotment sites directly managed by the council") is still
outstanding and efforts to get this have been frustrating.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/al...
