Hello Ms. Coquelin,
Our Ref: FOI/21-03
Further to our previous correspondence of 8 March 2021, please find
attached our response to the request you have made under the Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and an Appendix 1 document detailing
comments received from tenants in response to annual rent consultations in
2019, 2020 and 2021. Attached also is a copy of Employers in Voluntary
Housing (EVH) salary scales for 2020 and 2021.
The attached response explains why we haven’t provided the information
requested in relation to the Air Source Heat Pump installation programme
under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. We have instead
responded to these two elements of your request under the Environmental
Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004, and you will receive a response
to this part of your request under that information access regimen in due
course.
I trust that the information provided complies with your request.
Many thanks
Regards
Des Phee
