Dear Ms Davis

Freedom of Information Act 2000 - Information Request

Thank you for your request for information dated and received on 25 May
2011. The request has now been considered and the response is below and
attached. I apologise for the delay in responding.

Please note that there is one further entry which has not been disclosed
under Section 40, Personal Information. We believe that the liability
holder for this account is an individual. As such we do not feel that
disclosure of this information would be expected by that individual and
therefore to do so may risk the council being in breach of the Data
Protection Act. As a result we feel that Section 40 of the Freedom of
Information Act is engaged. In coming to this conclusion we have
considered the decision of the Information Tribunal, England v London
Borough of Bexley and the Information Commissioner.

I hope this satisfies your enquiry, however if you are dissatisfied with
the information provided please contact the Information and Records
Officer within two months of receipt of this letter at Allerdale Borough
Council, Allerdale House, Workington CA14 3YJ, phone (01900) 702701, email
[1][Allerdale District Council request email]. We will then make an internal review of the
decision.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner at: Information
Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
5AF, Telephone: 0303 123 1113; [2]www.ico.gov.uk. Generally the ICO cannot
make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure
provided by Allerdale Borough Council.

Most of the information that we provide in response to Freedom of
Information Act 2000 requests will be subject to copyright protection. In
most cases the copyright will be owned by Allerdale Borough Council. The
copyright in other information may be owned by another person or
organisation, as indicated on the information itself.

You are free to use any information supplied for your own non-commercial
research or private study purposes. The information may also be used for
any other purpose allowed by a limitation or exception in copyright law,
such as news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for example by
publishing the information in analogue or digital form, including on the
internet, will require the permission of the copyright owner.

For information where the copyright is owned by Allerdale Borough Council
details of the conditions on re-use can be found on our website at
[3]www.allerdale.gov.uk . For information where the copyright is owned by
another person or organisation you must apply to the copyright owner to
obtain their permission.

Yours sincerely
