A-M Griffin left an annotation (20 March 2009)

Newham Council were not only late in responding, but their answer is 'that they do not hold the information in the format required' is not acceptable.

They are required by law to provide this information, and they are fully aware that this information is not available on their website.

Suggest a request for internal review, and onto the IC if they fail to provide.
