not been involved in dealing with your request for information. Please
e-mail or write if you would like a review.

If, following the review, you remain dissatisfied with the council's
treatment of your request then you may take your complaint to the
Information Commissioner at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,

One point to add regarding the information on waiting lists; we allow
people to register on the waiting list for more than one allotment
site.

This means that the actual number of individuals waiting for an
allotment is fewer than waiting list would indicate.
