Dear Bridgend County Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Bridgend County Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'HMO density by ward'.

It is not believable that Bridgend Council do not have acess to this information. HMOs are supposed to be licensed and the license publicly viewable. It is not believable that you do not know approximately how many residential properties are in each ward. It is not believable or reasonable that you cannot work out my request.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/h...

Yours faithfully,

P White

Dear foi,

Good afternoon, just a quick note to let you know that I will be taking this to the ICO as I have not received any response at all and that is not acceptable or legal.

Yours sincerely,
