Dear Sir / Madam

 

Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Request For Information

 

I refer to your email of  18 November 2021, requesting information
pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Your request can be
summarised as ‘Business Rates Information.’

 

Whilst the Act confers a general right of access to information held by
public authorities section 1 provides that “any person making a request
for information to a public authority is entitled:

 

a)to be informed in writing by the public authority whether it holds
information of the description specified in the request; and

 

b)if that is the case to have that information communicated to him”,
subject to the effect of the exemptions in Part 11 of the Act.

 

Therefore pursuant to the Council’s duty to confirm or deny whether or not
it holds the information requested, the Council can confirm that it does
hold the requested information.

 

Please note that our reporting system is unable to provide a combined list
of all properties and all accounts with a relief and therefore I have
provided two spreadsheets, as attached. I am also unable to provide the
billing addressess, as these often include personal details and are used
for our billing purposes only.

If you are dissatisfied with the Freedom of Information response set out
in this letter you are able to utilise the Council’s complaints procedure
which allows one right of review via this system.  Details can be found
using the link below:

If you remain dissatisfied with the handling of your request or complaint
the Act confers a further right to complain to the Information
Commissioner at [2]www.ico.gov.uk or by writing to Information
Commissioner, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
(telephone 06125 545745), email [3][email address] , however the
Information Commissioner will not usually consider a complaint if the
complainant has not utilised their one right of review via the Council’s
complaints procedure.

 

Yours sincerely

Bassetlaw District Council
