Treatment of Freedom of Information Requests - Subjects - Outcomes - Time to Respond
Marlon Campbell made this Freedom of Information request to Redbridge Borough Council
The request was partially successful.
From: Marlon Campbell
19 January 2010
Dear Redbridge Borough Council,
For the 100 most recent FOI requests which the council considers
closed, be that because the request was rejected, met, or declared
"not held", please provide the following information:
(1) The date the request was received by the council.
(2) The summary subject of the request - in less than 20 words
(3) The date the request was acknowledged.
(4) The date the initial final response was given
(5) The status of this response, ie met, not held, rejected
(6) Whether an Internal Review was requested, and if so the date on
which this was completed and the outcome status
(7) Whether the FOI Request to the council's knowledge was referred
to the ICO.
(8) Whether the ICO issued any guidance or instruction to the
council following this referral.
(9) The final outcome after the ICO referral.
It is understood that a case may be referred to the ICO after the
council regards it a closed, and so this list request may not be
final and definitive, but at any given time, a FOI Request must be
either open or closed as far as the council, is considered.
This FOI Request is asking about the situation when it is
processed, and a snapshot should be taken, with the date of this
recorded in the reply.
As most of this information must already be held electronically for
administrative reasons by the council, it should not be onerous to
provide it.
Please provide this electronically, preferably in an XLS
spreadsheet.
Yours faithfully,
Marlon Campbell

For your information, the Act defines a number of exemptions that may prevent release of the information you have requested. There will be an assessment and if any of the exemption categories apply then the information will not be released. You will be informed if this is the case, including your rights of appeal.

There may a fee payable for this information. This will be considered and you will be informed if a fee is payable. In this event the fee must be paid before the information is processed and released. The 20 working day time limit for responses is suspended until receipt of the payment.

Dear FoI (Freedom of Information),
I note that the 20 working day deadline has passed without any
response being provided to my FOI Request.
This is very disappointing.
The Request was a straight forward one, and I see no reason why the
council could not provider its response within the statutory limit
of 20wd.
Please give an indication of a date by when the council expects to
provide its reply - as otherwise a reference to the ICO will become
necessary.
Yours sincerely,
Marlon Campbell

Once again, my apologies that you have had to contact us.
Yours sincerely,
Lin Pankhurst

Dear Mr Campbell,
Further to your email below. Unfortunately, I omitted to reply to your
request before I began Jury service and I regret very much that the
response to your request was not sent to you in time. We will soon be
including this type of information in our monthly disclosure log of
Freedom of Information requests, which will be available from our
website, here: www.redbridge.gov.uk
Your request for information has now been considered and the information
requested is attached. The report is produced from our database for the
requests completed over the last four months. Please note that the
acknowledgement date is not included as as it is not a field that can be
chosen for reporting purposes, and therefore each request would have to
be checked individually in order to obtain this information.
You should also bear in mind that any requests relating to schools have
term times as their working days and therefore even though it may read
that the request is exceeding the timescale because of the way the
database calculates working days, in that case it is not actually doing
so.
Please contact me if you have any queries or concerns.
If you are unhappy with the outcome of your request, you may ask for an
internal review. Please contact the Information Officer at
[Redbridge Borough Council request email] or Town Hall, PO Box 2, High Road, Ilford, Essex,
IG1 1DD who will arrange an internal review of your case.
If you have a complaint about the handling of your enquiry then please
contact the Information Officer at London Borough of Redbridge, Town
Hall, PO Box 2, High Road, Ilford, Essex, telephone 0208 708 2331,
e-mail [Redbridge Borough Council request email]. If you consider the outcome of the London
Borough of Redbridge's complaints procedure is not satisfactory you also
have a right of appeal to the Information Commissioner at:
Information Commissioner's Office

Dear FoI (Freedom of Information),
I am conducting research into the ways that councils in London
handle FOI Requests.
I made the same request as I made to you to each of the 33 London
boroughs, and to TfL and the GLA.
I need to import the data into a spreadsheet.
Unfortunately the PDF file you have provided does not allow me to
do this.
Could you kindly supply me the data as an XLS spreadsheet - as I
did in fact originally request?
Yours sincerely,
Marlon Campbell
