Database of services
Dear Cheshire West and Chester Council,
Please could you send me a spreadsheet with all support services commissioned by or connected to your council? e.g. drugs services, mental health, accommodation etc.
The information I need is: Categories (drugs/health); name; brief description; telephone number(s); email address(es); postal address (with post code); opening hours; other criteria (e.g. age groups/ethnicity/gender); and any other information that you hold (e.g. contact person).
I can send you a pen drive or other device if you need it.
I am requesting the same from all other local authorities in England because I am putting together a website with all of this information (free to access to the public - there will not be any charge for the local authority either). I am making this request as an individual, not as a business or organisation.
Yours faithfully,
Tay Jiva

The Council considers that an exemption at Section 21 of the FOIA 2000
applies to your refined request which is extensive covering the majority
of the Council's services and in a number of instances you are seeking
information on organisations not connected to the Council.
Section 21 (1) of the FOIA states:
Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise than
under Section 1 is exempt information.
The purpose of Section 21(1) is to ensure that there is no right of access
to information via FOIA if it is available to the applicant by another
route. Section 21 is an absolute exemption which means that there is no
requirement for a Public Interest Test.
The Council provides extensive data on its website which allows access to
its services. The Council can therefore direct you to where the
information is available and the exemption in s21 (1) applies.
Your request was submitted by email and as such it is considered
reasonable to assume that you have access to a computer and the internet
and therefore that you have access to the information requested other than
by being supplied with the information by the Council.
The website link for access to the information you request is:
[1]https://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.u...
We are happy to consider a refined request if you cannot find particular
specific information on the website.
We trust this answers your query.
The Council considers that your request has been answered in full by
either confirming that information is not held, providing you with the
information requested, or explaining why any information has been withheld
and the reasons for any redaction. Where applicable, the Council has also
told you the reasons for the delay in responding to your request.
If you are unhappy with the way your request for information has been
handled you can request a review by writing to the Disclosures Team within
40 working days from the date of the Council’s response.
You are entitled to a review by the Council if:
• You are dissatisfied with the Council’s explanation of why
the application was not dealt with within the 20 working day time limit.
• All the information requested is not being disclosed and you
have not received an explanation why some information is not being
disclosed.
• A reason for the disclosures under the request being refused
is not received.
• You consider that exemptions have been wrongly applied,
and/or
• You consider that a fee has been wrongly applied.
Please set out your grounds for seeking a review together with what
specific part of your request those grounds apply to and the outcome you
are seeking. The Council reserves the right to ask you for clarification
of the grounds for your review request if the grounds are not clear, and
to delay commencing the review if such grounds are not provided.
The Disclosures Team can be contacted by email via:
[Cheshire West and Chester Council request email] or at the following address:
Disclosures Team
Cheshire West and Chester Council
(Flr 2 HQ)
4 Civic Way
Ellesmere Port
CH64 0BE
The Disclosures Team will acknowledge a request for an internal review
within 5 working days and complete the review as soon as possible and no
later than 40 working days from receipt of the request.
More information about the Council’s internal review process can be found
via:

If you remain dissatisfied following the outcome of your review, you have
a right of appeal to the Information Commissioner at:

Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire SK9 5AF
Telephone: 08456 30 60 60 or 01625 54 57 45
