Good morning,
Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
We acknowledge receipt of your information request dated 28 May 2021. The
Reference Number for this is 103208.
In terms of the relevant legislation, we have 20 working days to deal with
your request from the date that we received it. Where possible, we will
respond sooner. However, as you might expect, Covid-19 is currently
impacting on our ability to respond to requests. This may be because
staff are working from home and are therefore unable to carry out full
searches for information or because staff are working on delivering
essential front-line services. The Scottish Information Commissioner
(who oversees compliance with FOI legislation in Scotland) has the ability
to recognise any unavoidable reasons for delay in considering any appeals
for non-compliance with statutory timescales.
Please therefore bear with us at this difficult time. If you are able to
narrow the scope of your request, that would be very helpful and may mean
we can respond to you more quickly. Alternatively, please consider
withdrawing your request and resubmitting it once normal service has
resumed.
If you would like to know how we treat your personal information, you can
read more on the Council’s privacy webpage -
