Performance of street light repairs

Dear Sir or Madam,

Could you please provide, for the last year, broken down by
district if possible:

1) Total number of street lighting repairs performed by the
Council, in urgent, non-urgent and 'beyond your control' categories

2) Total number of urgent street light repairs not repaired within
24 hours

3) Total number of non-urgent street light repairs not repaired
within 7 working days

4) Total number of defects beyond your control (Electricity
company) i.e.. Supply failures, low voltage,etc. not repaired
within 15 working days

Yours faithfully,

Dear Blackburn Tamar,

Thank you for your reply. For the third item, Total number of non -
urgent repairs not repaired within 7 working days, I seem to have
been provided with average wait times per District. I'm requesting
the actual numbers of repairs that went over the targeted 7 days.
Would it be possible to receive these?

Yours sincerely,

Neil McGovern

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Cambridgeshire County
Council's handling of my FOI request 'Performance of street light
repairs'.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/pe...

The information I requested has only partially been made available
within the time limit set out by Freedom of Information Act 2000
(England, Wales & NI).

Yours faithfully,

Neil McGovern

Dear Sir/Madam,

It has now been 23 working days since I have requested an internal
review of this request. Do you have a status update as to this
review?

Yours sincerely,

Neil McGovern

Dear Sir/Madam,

It has now been 39 working days since I have requested an internal
review of this request, and I have not received an acknowlegement
of this, or a resolution.

The Information Commissioner considers that a reasonable time for
completing an internal review is 20 working days from the date of
the request for review. There may be a small number of cases which
involve exceptional circumstances where it may be reasonable to
take longer. In those circumstances, the public authority should,
as a matter of good practice, notify the requester and explain why
more time is needed.

In the commissioner's view, in no case should the total time taken
exceed 40 working days. In such cases they would expect a public
authority to be able to demonstrate that it had commenced the
review procedure promptly following receipt of the request for
review and had actively worked on the review throughout that
period.

I have neither received a response, or resolution to this request
despite a reminder on the 17th September.

As such, if full information is not received by the end of the day
tomorrow (6th October), I will be forwarding this on to the
Information Commissioner with a view to enforcement.

Yours sincerely,

Neil McGovern

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for your email advising the delay in producing
information with reference to my FoI request. I now note that it
has been a futher two weeks since your last communication. As you
know the number of streetlight repairs, and the average streetlight
repair time, I would assume that you hold information on how long
each light took to get repaired which would be used to generate
this figure.

If you could email back with a suggested timeline for producing
this information, or the information itself, I would appreciate it.

Yours sincerely,

Neil McGovern

Dear FOI,

Dear Sir or Madam,

It has now been a further two weeks since my last message to you,
and I am still awaiting a full reply to my email regarding my FoI
request "Performance of street light repairs". I have also
requested an internal review into the handling of the request, and
have yet to receive a response to it.

Please update myself as to the status of this as a priority. Again,
for reference, the full correspondance of this can be found at
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/pe...

I expect a reply by the end of the day on the 6th November.

Yours faithfully,

Neil McGovern
