Providing empty property data, quality issues

The request was successful.

Dear Warrington Borough Council,

In terms of the Freedom of Information Act of 2000, and subject to section 40(2) on personal data, could you please provide me with a complete and up-to-date list of all business (non-residential) property rates data for your local authority, and including the following fields:

- Billing Authority Reference Code (linking the property to the VOA database reference)
- Firm's Trading Name (i.e. property occupant)
- Full Property Address (Number, Street, Postal Code, Town)
- Occupied / Vacant
- Date of Occupation / Vacancy
- Actual annual rates charged (in Pounds)

I am aware that you already publish data which mostly answers this request, however the billing authority reference number, which we use to match your data to the VOA master list, is not included.

Please could you update this and provide an updated version of your data.

Yours faithfully,

Gavin Chait
