Dear Margaret Campbell

Please accept my apologies for the delay in replying to you regarding your
request for information under the Freedom of Information Act.

The delay was due to department reorganisation and was unavoidable. I have
only recently begun in this post so have been working through the FOIA
requests already on file.

I am aware that your request was revised shortly after the first request.
I have that copy.

I should be dealing with your request over the next day or so and will get
back to you before end of the day Friday 12/02/10.

Once again apologies for the delay.

Regards

Andrew

Dear Margaret Campbell

We are pleased to inform you that we can provide the information you
requested under the FOIA.
Our responses are highlighted below after each of your questions

"I wrote to BBC on the 4th January requesting data on 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?

There are currently 69 allotment sites administered by Neighbourhood
Services

2) What is the total number of plots on these sites?

The total number of plots on these sites is 1668

3) What is the total number of people on waiting lists for these
sites?

There are currently 978 people on waiting lists for these sites

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

There are currently 5 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"

None

Many thanks,

Margaret Campbell"
